Dear Parents/Guardians of our Sacramental students,

May I wish you all a very Happy Easter in these very strange times.

I write to you with an update on our Sacramental Program within the Federated Schools.

Two points we know from the State Government.

1. Remote learning will be for Term 2 at least.
2. The State of Emergency in Victoria has been extended till at least 11th May.  This means Churches will be closed for this period of time and maybe beyond.

Given remote learning the reflection day for Year 4 Eucharist and reflection/rehearsal day for Year 6 Confirmation have both been postponed.

Year 3 Reconciliation program is also on hold at this stage due to the closure of Churches and Places of Sacred Worship.

Both Year 4's and Year 6's have been given their Sacramental Workbook to begin at home.  Teachers will explain what is expected of each student in starting and completing this.

No new dates have been chosen for any of the Sacraments at this stage and will not be chosen till Schools and Churches reopen fully.

Any questions or queries please email me on edooley@spbentleigh.catholic.edu.au

In thanks

Edward Dooley (Mission and Faith Leader)
