SACRAMENTS
It’s a big week of Sacraments for both parishes. Over the next two weekends at the 5pm Saturday and 9am Sunday Masses at St Agatha’s, children are receiving their First Holy Communion.

At Mother of Mercy Parish, the children and parents will be reflecting on Saturday at their Confirmation retreat at Holy Spirit Seminary. The children will receive Confirmation on the Friday before Pentecost Sunday.

I'd like to thank all those who have helped with Information nights, formation sessions, liturgies, rehearsals, retreats, registrations and admin. Congratulations to all the families. Please keep forming yourselves and your children in the faith!!
