Sacrament of First Reconciliation – Year 3 & above.
Welcome to the First Reconciliation program for 2024.
Children of the parish who are in year 3 or above and have been baptised are welcome to join. The sacramental team hope that the program will be enjoyable and informative for both children and parents.
Our basic message is that God loves us and wants the best for us. Of course God is always ready to forgive.
We will have a Parent Information Evening on Tuesday, May 7 at 7.00pm in the church (children do not need to attend this meeting). At this meeting we will ask you to form groups, pick up your books and pay for the program. The cost of the program is $50.00 and can be paid by cash or credit card.
First Reconciliation preparation classes will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7.00pm in the parish hall and will last one hour. You can choose to attend either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. There will be 4 classes, one each week, starting on Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 May. You will be part of a group of no more than 6-8 (max) children for preparation.
If your child was not baptised at All Hallows Church, please provide a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate to the parish office (in person or by email) before you start the preparation classes.
Mass attendance during the program is required. The sacraments are an initiation into the Church and one of the basic features of our faith is that we gather on Sundays for Mass.
The sacrament of First Reconciliation will be celebrated in the church on Wednesday, 12 June at 7.00pm. Children who have celebrated their First Reconciliation can then go on to celebrate their first Holy Communion in term 4.
Registration opens Monday, 8th April 2024.

We hope that you and your family will find the Reconciliation program family friendly, interesting and enjoyable. Please contact us at the parish office 9713 7960 or by email at [email protected] should you have any questions.
