First Reconciliation Dates

First Reconciliation will take place at St Michael's Church 18 to 22 October at 5pm and 6pm. All family members over 16 years of age attending must be double vaccinated in line with NSW government guidelines. If parents of candidates are not double vaccinated please contact the Parish office so we can make other arrangements.

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

There will be no presentation this year. The Parish community will 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.
