Please find below the updated Sacramental Program dates for 2017 from Lyn Harkins who coordinates the Sacramental Program at St Emilie’s Parish.
There have been changes to all of the 1st Reconciliation dates due to priest availability (due to Fr Giovanni being away fro the whole of June). Also there is now only one Mass for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Please note that there may be changes.
I am pleased to inform parents who have children making either 1st Reconciliation, 1st Holy Communion or Confirmation in 2017 that Enrolment Forms are available in the church foyer for parents to enrol their children in the Parish Sacramental Program.
For your information dates and times of Commitment Masses are also on the Board. Please note there is no need to sign-up for a Commitment Mass, please come along to the mass you would usually attend or to the mass that best suits your family.
Forms can be collected after Mass, or during opening times of the Church as follows:

Prior to the actual Confirmation Masses, the next step in the preparation process is the Parent & Child Confirmation Workshop and it is very important that your child attend with either both or at least one parent. The date is as follows:
The workshops will take place in the School Hall, and this year there is no need for prior registration of which session you will attend. Just choose the session you will attend, and register that you are present when you arrive.
Should you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
This weekend we celebrate the first of our First Eucharist Masses – such a special and exciting time for our Community.
Please follow the link below to read an important letter from Lyn Harkins, our Parish Sacramental Coordinator, regarding rehearsals for the First Eucharist Masses.
All children and at least one parent are asked to attend the rehearsal, if possible. At the rehearsal we will require information regarding how many family/guests you are expecting to attend your child’s mass so seating can be allocated.
Please remember to bring some non-perishable food items to donate to the Community Basket at your child’s First Eucharist Mass.

All children preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, First Eucharist or Confirmation in 2016 are required to attend one of the Parish Sacramental Commitment Masses.
These masses will be celebrated, starting this weekend, over the weekends of the 5 & 6 March and the 12 & 13 March 2016. Saturday evening mass begins at 6.30pm with Sunday masses being held at 7.15am, 9am and 5pm.
When you arrive at one of these masses, please make sure you have your name ticked off by one of the teachers or catechists who will be waiting in the foyer. If you haven’t already brought in your Enrolment Form, you can bring it to one of the Commitment Masses.
