- BIG CELEBRATION in the hall after. PLEASE BRING A PLATE OR 2 as this is a function for the children & their whanau as well as some parish. The children will have their own special table.

Both Whanau and the child must complete each session to receive the sacrament. Please make your very best effort to attend every Sunday Session! Catch-ups throughout the week can be done but this is not ideal for organisers. If you can not attend on a Sunday please contact us. It will be your responsibility to make up this date ahead of the next Sunday, please contact an organiser to do so (both child & parent catch up).
