PARISH SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM DATES 2020
In 2020 the celebrations of First Eucharist and Confirmation will not take place.
In 2021 all children eligible to make their Confirmation and First Eucharist will do so.
These decisions are regrettable but it is considered wise to cancel the celebrations of these Sacraments in 2020, rather than to postpone them, given the ongoing uncertainty of when and how we can gather as a faith community for the remainder of this year.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation may still be able to proceed but we will have to wait for this to be decided at a later time.
Please contact the Parish office on 3397 1587 or mtcarmel@bne.catholic.net.au with enquiries.
