First Reconciliation at St Augustines's J3
Thank you to Junior 3 for supporting their friends who are preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion at this time. They joined the parents of the ten children in supporting the pupils who received the Sacrament of First Reconciliation on Monday.
The singing and readings were beautiful and it was lovely to celebrate this Sacrament together. The pupils had written sorry prayers in the morning, asking for forgiveness and these were subsequently tied to helium balloons later that day. Happily, we watched them disappear (this time away from any trees) as we remembered how we feel lighter of heart when we share our worries with God.
