First Reconciliation Dates

Due to the Greater Sydney lockdown the dates to celebrate First Reconciliation in 2021 are still unknown. Once we are allowed to celebrate safely we will contact all students who have registered for the sacrament via the email address provided at enrolment.

At St Michael's Parish children who are baptised in the Catholic faith celebrate their first Reconciliation in Year 2 (or above). They are required to have made their first Reconciliation prior to undertaking their first Holy Communion.

Presentation Masses

We will assess the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on gatherings nearer the time to determine if it is safe for candidates to present at Mass. The Parish community will still pray for the candidates as they begin their preparation to celebrate the Sacrament.

Lesson Preparation

St Michael's school candidates in Year 2 receive their lessons during school class time. State and private school candidates and St Michael's candidates in Year 3 or above prepare for their first Reconciliation with 2 x 50 minute lessons led by Lolina Aljasin, our Sacramental Coordinator. Lessons have been moved to Term 4 due to the continuing Sydney lockdown. Lessons will be conducted via Zoom and commence first week of Term 4, Tuesday 5th or Wednesday 6th October 2021.
