Church and Community Links

We have links with Sacred Heart Parish, Father Kevin Okpala and Deacon Tom with a variety of church groups and organisations.

Fr Kevin helps the school prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (P3), First Holy Communion (P4) and Confirmation (P7)

Reconciliation Reflection (for adults)

What is Sin?

As you reflect on your relationship with God, take time to ask yourself the following:

  • When I choose to put myself first when I should be thinking of others, it can lead to sin;
  • When I choose to go against what I know is right in my heart, it can lead to sin; and
  • When I choose to ignore the place of God in my life, it can lead to sin.

SIN IS WHEN I CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY FROM GOD, THE GOD WHO GIVES ME LIFE AND WANTS ME TO LOVE HIM.

In the presence of God, become aware of the times recently when the choices you have made have led you away from God, hurting others and yourself.

Think about what helped you to turn back to God again and feel sorry for the things you have done.

Share these with the priest at Reconciliation.
