St Emilie’s Parish Sacramental Program

Just a reminder that the 1^st Reconciliation Parent & Child Workshop is to be held this Wednesday 10^th June in the School Hall. There is a choice of two sessions, either 5pm or 6.15pm and all families are asked to attend one of these meeting times.

The Reconciliation Workshop is an important part of your child’s faith journey, and focuses on what being ‘reconciled’ means rather than focussing on our ‘sins’. We talk about ‘putting things right’, particularly in relation to one’s family and friends, and it is also an opportunity for parents to talk with their child about reconciliation in a way that might not normally occur within our busy family lives.

At the workshop you will also have the opportunity to select which date you will bring your child to make the Sacrament and which Thanksgiving Mass you will attend.

Looking forward to your company on Wednesday 10^th June.

An Oral History

Last week Sr Margaret Mary and Father Robert were invited along to share some of their earliest memories and stories about the beginnings of our school and parish community. We are now working on using this recording to assist us in documenting our school’s faith story.

It was such a privilege to listen to two good friends and colleagues, who were both instrumental in establishing St Emilie’s, reminiscing and looking back with such genuine affection and pride. They both said that St Emilie’s was always built upon a vision of being ‘a Christ-centred and welcoming place’.

In God’s grace, we look forward to continuing the good work of all those who have gone before us.

0 Sacrament of Reconciliation – A Fresh Start!

Congratulations to all those children from Year Three who received their First Reconciliation last Thursday evening. It is certainly very comforting to know, that especially when we have lost our way, God searches high and low for us until he finds us … and that when he finds us, he celebrates our return!

As families, may we continue to pray for the courage and the wisdom that it takes to be people of daily forgiveness and unconditional love with all we meet.

0 School/Parish Reconciliation

This Thursday evening the 3rd April, 6.30pm – 7.30pm, Year Three children will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the very first time. Families and parishioners will also participate in this liturgy of the Second Rite as personal and communal preparation for the joy of Easter Sunday, when we celebrate Jesus conquering death and rising to New Life. Please keep our Year Three’s and their families in your prayers as they take time out of the busyness to reflect upon their need for healing and peace.
