 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 2023 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 2 June 2022 at 5:30pm           
Friday 3 June at 2022 at 5:30pm
      __________________________________________________________________________
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. If you are happy for you and your child to make this commitment, please complete the enrolment form (and Parental Consent Form) by Monday 2 May.

Your Parish community looks forward to supporting you in this journey.

For any further enquiries, please contact the Parish Office on telephone 3397 1587 or by email at mtcarmel@bne.catholic.net.au.
 
 
Sincerely,
Rev Martinho Da Costa, O.Carm                                                                                                                                      Parish Priest
