SACRAMENTS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH The Catholic Parish of St. Joseph’s (covering the region of Gayndah, Mundubbera and Eidsvold) is preparing to begin its sacramental program for children. The first step in that journey (for those baptised Catholic) is the celebration of Reconciliation for children in year 3 and above. We encourage you to consider this invitation, and to discuss it with your family. The commitment will be to 3 Thursday afternoon sessions as a group (approx. 1 Hr each) in Gayndah at 5pm (in consultation with the participating families), home lessons from our resource book, plus a practice date. If you wish to proceed as part of the first stage of this program, please call the parish office (4161 1315) no later than August 7th. You can also email Fr Jason Middleton at [email protected] with any questions or to register your interest. We look forward to sharing this journey in the faith with your family.
Like us on Facebook @ Mundubbera State P10 to get the latest up to date information and news from the school.
