12. Sacraments
Reconciliation Most of the preparation will take place in school but some homework will be given. The emphasis is on reconciling with the Father rather than sins. The children are encouraged to say sorry but not dwell upon any guilt. This will usually take place at Church at 6pm in March. Communion Again most of the preparation takes place in school. The actual Communion celebration will be on a Saturday morning in early June.
