Sacramental Update

Dear Parent/Carer,

After discussions with the Parish Priest, Father Ian Bathgate, a decision has been made about the dates for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Please see the information below.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

This will take place in the school building on Thursday 29^th April at 1:30pm.  Unfortunately, no parents or family members can attend.

Sacrament of First Holy Communion

This will take place over 2 dates in St. Bartholomew’s Parish Church at 12:30pm on Saturday 5^th and Sunday 6^th June.  Currently, a maximum of 4 people can accompany each child. The date for individual children receiving the Sacrament will be finalised after the Easter holidays.  The children should come smartly dressed in either their uniforms or another suitable outfit. We realise how challenging this year has been and are aware of the difficulties facing families in sourcing the more ‘traditional’ outfits. If you already have such outfits for your child then, of course, they can be presented wearing this. However, we would urge you not to spend lots of money, especially this year, which has been financially challenging for so many families. It will be a beautiful, joyous occasion no matter what.

Sacrament of Confirmation

This will take place over 2 dates in St. Bartholomew’s Parish Church at 7pm on Tuesday 15^th and Wednesday 16^th June. Currently, a maximum of 4 people can accompany each child. All children should wear their school uniform.

Anyone wishing to have their child baptised will have to contact Father Ian directly as soon as possible otherwise your child cannot be presented for the Sacraments.

 

Please check the Parish Facebook page and Sunday Bulletin for all updates.

Thank you for your continued support.

I wish you all a happy and Holy Easter.

 

Yours sincerely

Mrs Small

Principal Teacher
