At St Michael’s, our Year 3 Sacramental programme holds a special place in our hearts as a pivotal moment in our children’s spiritual journey. Rooted deeply in our Catholic faith and guided by our Mission Statement, we understand the profound significance of preparing our children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. This programme is not just a series of lessons but a sacred opportunity for our children to deepen their relationship with God and the Catholic community.

Through thoughtful teachings, heartfelt prayers, and work with Father Joe, we aim to nurture a lifelong reverence for the sacraments and empower our children with a strong foundation in their faith. We believe that by embracing the Sacramental programme, our children not only grow closer to God but also cultivate a deeper sense of belonging within the Church, enriching their hearts, minds, and spirits for years to come.
