Dear Parents,
My
name is Anna Sheehy, and I will be the Sacramental Program Coordinator for Sacred
Heart Parish Highgate in 2014. I am also the Assistant Principal /Religious
Education at Sacred Heart Primary School Highgate.
Again
this year, I will be helping Father Peter Bianchini with the Parish Based,
Family Focused, School Supported Sacrament Program, which is in keeping with
the Archdiocesan policy of returning to home parishes to receive Sacraments.
Your
Teachers and Catechists will be preparing students who attend the Sacred Heart
Parish, and are receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Communion or
Confirmation in 2014.
The
following information contains important dates to put in your diaries.
We
will be holding Sacrament Information
Meetings for Parents in the School Hall at 40 Mary Street Highgate. At
these meetings, Father Peter will talk about the Sacraments, and the teachers
will outline the preparation that is taking place in class.
The
Sacrament of Confirmation Meeting will take place on Thursday May 8 at 7.00pm.
The
Sacrament of Eucharist Meeting will take place on Thursday, May 15 at 7.00pm.
The
Sacrament of Reconciliation Meeting will take place on Thursday, May 22 at 7.00pm.
All
Meetings will run from 7.00-8.00pm,
and all parents are strongly encouraged to attend and participate.
At
these meetings you will receive detailed information and be invited to enrol your
child to receive a Sacrament.
We
are once again running the Sacrament
Workshops for the children and their parents. These were a great success
last year, and once again they will be run by the Consultants from the
Catechesis Service Team at the Catholic Education Office. You are all strongly
encouraged to come along and participate in these, as they provide further
understanding of the Sacraments, and are a wonderful opportunity to share this
experience together.
The
dates are:
Reconcilation: Monday, May 5.
6.30-8.00pm.
Confirmation : Monday, May 19.
6.30-8.00pm.
Eucharist: Monday, May 26. 6.30-8.00pm.
The
Commitment Masses for these
Sacraments will take place on the following dates.
Confirmation Commitment Mass: Saturday, 17 May.
Eucharist
Commitment Mass: Saturday, 24 May.
Reconciliation
Commitment Mass: Saturday, 31 May.
All
of these Masses will be celebrated at 6.00pm, in the Sacred Heart Highgate
Church.
We
look forward to working together with you in the Sacrament Program of 2014.
Yours
sincerely,
Anna
Sheehy
Sacramental
Program Coordinator.
