SACRAMENTS OF RECONCILIATION AND HOLY COMMUNION

Posted on 28 January 2026

We recognise that some children who do not attend St Joseph’s Primary School may wish to participate in the sacraments of First Confession (Reconciliation) or First Holy Communion during this year.

If your child is currently in Year 3 or above and would like to celebrate their First Reconciliation, you are kindly asked to contact Father Duane Reilly.

For those with children in Year 4 or above who wish to receive their First Holy Communion, please also speak to Father Duane Reilly. When contacting Father Reilly about joining the First Holy Communion Programme, please inform him if your child also needs to make their First Confession.

Registration forms for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are available at the back of St Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s churches.
