REC Report
This Saturday Bishop Brian Mascord will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with our Year 6 candidates. The ceremony will take place starting at 2 pm (St Thomas Aquinas Church, Bowral). Candidates are asked to arrive at least 20 minutes beforehand and make their way to the side chapel. Families have each been assigned a pew in the Church. It should be a lovely occasion for the children and their families.
During the ceremony, parents of the candidates will stand and pray together:
Bishop Brian, having already presented our children to be born again in Christ through Baptism, we wish to further their initiation into the Catholic faith by presenting them now to share in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation. As Christian parents we wish to give them every help and encouragement we can, by our words and by our example, to practise the faith within the Church community.
This Thursday afternoon some children from the Liturgy Group who are able to help at the Confirmation Ceremony on Saturday will travel to Bowral for a rehearsal. We are very appreciative of the commitment and generosity of these children and their families.
