Sacrament of First Reconciliation went well with 17 candidates receiving the Sacrament and one more at a later date. Thank you to Mr Hughes and Mrs Harris for their preparation of the Year 3 class. A special thank you is also extended to Margaret, Anne and Dennis Sleigh for their preparation of the children in after school sessions. The children had a fantastic retreat day and prepared well for the Sacrament. Thank you also to Father Sijo and Father Dominic from West Wyalong who celebrated the Sacrament with the children. It was also wonderful to see so many family members joining us for the celebration.

The class supported an initiative of St Vincent de Paul, by planning and purchasing hampers for needy families in the community that have been delivered to the community centre for distribution.
