At St Marie’s, our Year 3 Sacramental Programme is a treasured part of our school community, marking an important step in our children’s spiritual journey. Grounded in our Catholic faith and guided by our mission of “Following the teachings of Christ so that we are His hands and feet!”, we value the preparation of our children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

This programme is more than a series of lessons—it is a sacred journey that helps our children grow closer to God and deepen their connection with the wider Catholic Church. Through thoughtful teaching, reflective prayer, and the spiritual guidance of our parish priest, we aim to nurture a profound respect for the sacraments and provide a strong foundation in faith.

We believe this journey not only enriches the spiritual lives of our children but also strengthens their sense of belonging within the Church, helping them to flourish as confident, compassionate members of our faith community for years to come.
