Information Evening for Sacraments
For families with children planning to take part in our parish sacramental program this year to prepare for and receive the sacraments of Eucharist, Confirmation or Reconciliation you, are invited to attend an information evening on Thursday 16th February at 6:00pm in the St Monica’s Church. That would traditionally be children in years 4 and 6 planning to receive the sacraments. I look forward to seeing you all there and meeting with our new Parish Priest, Father Mick, and Sue Collins our Sacramental Coordinator.
Ash Wednesday Mass
Ash Wednesday commences the Liturgical period of Lent which for Catholics is a time of fasting, sacrifice, and prayer.
Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us.
Parents and carers are invited to join with us as we attend Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday 22 February at 12pm at St Michael's Church Kaleen.
