0 Comments

 
Dear Year 4 Parents and Guardians

We look forward to celebrating the Sacrament of Eucharist with your child.       
   
As per the Sacramental Policy of the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Year 4 children receive the Sacrament of Eucharist – First Holy Communion. 
Children in Year 4 will receive the Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation) in 2024 when they are in Year 5.

To participate in the Sacrament of Eucharist, your child must be Baptised and Confirmed. 
                     
The Sacrament of Eucharist will be celebrated here at the Parish on the following dates:
Thursday 1 June 2023 at 5pm           
Friday 2 June at 2023 at 5pm
          ________________________________________________________________________
Parental Responsibility and the Sacraments in the Catholic Church

In receiving their First Holy Communion, the children will complete their Christian initiation.  The process began with their Baptism which first joined them to Christ and made them members of the Church.  It was then sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit when they received their Sacrament of Confirmation.
The Sacrament of Eucharist will be the first time they share intimately in the life of Christ and the unity of the Church by receiving the body and blood of Christ.

In the time of preparation for the Sacrament of Eucharist, it is very important for the children and their families to participate regularly in Mass so the children become familiar with its parts and its pattern.  The Eucharist is at the heart of our Catholic identity and faith.
 
For your child to be eligible to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist, it is very important that all sessions of the preparation are attended.  When you and your child make a decision to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist, you are making a commitment to share in the complete journey of receiving this Sacrament.

The Parent and Child Information Session will provide an overview of the preparation involved with the Sacrament of Eucharist and will be an opportunity for parents to raise any questions. Please also find a list of key dates for this sacrament below.  If you are happy for you and your child to make this commitment, complete the online enrolment form (click here) and submit with the completed Parental Authority Form (below) and receipt of donation to mtcarmel@bne.catholic.net.au or the parish office by Tuesday 2 May.

The Parish community looks forward to supporting you in this journey.
For any further enquiries, please contact the Parish Office (details below).
 
Sincerely,
Rev Martinho Da Costa, O.Carm                                                                                                                                      Parish Priest
 
Parish Office Hours: Monday to Thursday 8:30am-2:30pm.

Want to put your faith into action?
Volunteer to be a Caritas Australia Ambassador!


Caritas Australia is the Catholic agency for international aid and development, working to alleviate poverty and bring hope and justice to marginalised communities throughout the world.
 
We’re inviting a parishioner to volunteer to help coordinate Project Compassion in your parish community. The volunteer Caritas Ambassador can do as much as they are comfortable with, for example distributing Project Compassion boxes or envelopes to parishioners, showing the Project Compassion films and/or giving a short talk (examples available).
 
Many other opportunities also arise during the year should you be keen to continue helping your parish community to put their faith into action, in solidarity with some of our world’s most vulnerable communities.
 
To find out more or register your interest, please email education@caritas.org.au.
