Over the coming weeks all these children will take part in the preparation programs for their sacraments, attending classes, Faith & Life Evenings and Retreat Days. The day of their sacrament will be a great celebration of the presence of Jesus in their lives through the Body and Blood and the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit . PRAYER to be said by Parish Community Dear Children, We the faith community of St. Brendan’s Parish invite you to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and first Eucharist. As you were welcomed into the faith community at your Baptism, we pray that God, who has begun this good work in you, will bring you to an even deeper love and openness in Christ and to the gifts which are offered to you. We promise to support you with our love and prayers. MORNING TEA will be served after 10.30am Mass.

All welcome.
