Sacrament Dates, Meetings & Classes
All parents/Guardians of those children preparing for and due to celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation, Reconciliation, and First Eucharist, should have received letters from both parish and St Francis Primary School along with dates of parish preparations and celebrations for each appropriate Sacrament.
If for any reason a parent/Guardian of a child due for such a Sacrament has not received such information (especially if not at St Francis Primary school or attending a non-Catholic school), please contact Fr. Dónal or Fr. Caoimhín by phone or email info@blessedjohndunsscotusparish.org.
The Parish Preparation Sessions can be viewed here and are obligatory and to be attended by child and parent/guardian prior to reception and celebration of each Sacrament.
