From the Religious Education Coordinator (Primary)

On Wednesday August 16, 24 students from Years 4 and 5 took a significant step forward in their faith journey. In a special Mass at St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral, students received the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion, celebrated by Archbishop Patrick O’Regan. With the guidance of teachers and the support of their families and the parish community, these students have spent months preparing for this special occasion.

The Sacrament of Confirmation marked students’ commitment to living out their faith where they renewed their baptismal promises and received the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In the Sacrament of First Holy Communion, students were able to partake in the Eucharist for the first time, strengthening their connection with God and the Church.

A warm congratulations to the 24 students who have received these sacraments. I would also like to express my gratitude to the families, teachers, sponsors, and parish community who have played a pivotal role in preparing the students for these sacraments.
