SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
Sacramental Preparation
Pre-Sacrament Classes towards First Communion and Confirmation are held over a two year period. Children attending non-Catholic schools, who wish to celebrate the sacraments, are invited to enrol in classes when they enter 1st class (First Communion) and 5th class (Confirmation).
Children in non-faith schools (e.g. Educate Together) should be enabled to celebrate the sacraments with the help of their parents in their own home parishes and make contact with their parishes two years in advance of celebration. Accordingly children resident in Sandymount parish and attending a non-faith school may wish at entry to 1st class or to 5th class to make contact with us to enable appropriate arrangements of preparation to be made.
A meeting with parents of children in St. Matthew’s School, who wish to prepare for sacramental celebration in 2020 and 2021 will be held this Monday September 23rd at 7.30pm in Star of the Sea Church.
