Sacramental Preparations

The Mersey Leven Catholic Parish has begun preparations for the Sacraments of Initiation this year. The preparation is Parish-based, Family-centred and School-supported. Parents meet at Our Lady of Lourdes Church with Fr Steven, Fr Jaison and the sacramental team to discuss the commitment and the process involved in preparing to celebrate the sacraments. The candidates have begun their preparation with a Mass of Welcome and Commitment in the parish. The Confirmation candidates celebrated last weekend. The Reconciliation candidates Welcome and Commitment Mass will be celebrated in a Mass this coming weekend on the 26th and 27th February. We ask the community to pray for these children and families as they continue on their faith journey.

We pray, Lord Jesus, for your guidance and love for our children on their faith journey. Assist them Lord in being open to change and challenge, teaching and learning.

Help our community as we share our faith and love with our children as they commit to this journey.

Amen
