ATTENTION: SEE NOTES ON REVERSE SIDE

THE SACRAMENTAL TEAM WILL NOT MEET AFTER EACH SACRAMENT TO DO A RECAP. IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED DURING THE PREPARATION OR CELEBRATION OF THE SACRAMENT – PUT IT IN WRITING TO THE RE COORDINATOR TO BE PRESENTED AT THE LAST SACRAMENTAL TEAM MEETING OF THE YEAR.

Teachers of the Sacraments are not needed at the Parent / Child Meetings, though your presence before or after may be fruitful.

All the practicalities and dress requirements etc will be discussed by the Teacher with the Parents in their own short meeting in the classroom.

Attention SFX: Fr Geoff has asked that if at all possible the class masses that are set for each class (Yr’s 3, 4 & 7) during the year be celebrated 4 – 8 weeks before the Sacrament that class will be celebrating.
