Below are 2 letters from Fr Bernard regarding the 2021 Sacramental Program for First Holy Communion (Sacrament of the Eucharist) & the 2022 Sacramental Program
2021 Sacrament of the Eucharist:
Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you for your patience as we navigate through the current COVID restrictions. It has become necessary to restructure the Lumen Christi Preparation Programme for the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Bishop Brian has announced that with the easing of restrictions the Churches in the Wollongong Diocese will open when the population reaches the 80% vaccination target.
At Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes we value the health and safety of our parishioners. We understand the apprehension many may feel during these uncertain times.
Having considered all of the options available it has been decided to roll the First Communion Programme for 2021 into March of 2022.
The dates for the Eucharist Programme are as follows:
Eucharist Group from 2021
Term 1 (March) 2022
Session Parent Meeting 23/24 Feb 2022 SJV 6:30 pm
Session 1 9/10 March SJV 6:30 pm
Session 2 16/17 March SJV 6:30 pm
Session 3 23/24 March SJV 6:30 pm
Session 4 30/31 March SJV 6:30 pm
The First Communion Masses will be held on Saturday April 2nd and Saturday April 9th. Further confirmation of times will be available in March 2022.
You will receive reminder notification via email in February 2022 about the Eucharist Programme.
Yours in Christ
Fr Bernard Gordon
