Children at Holy Spirit Catholic Academy are encouraged to be personal examples of the life of God within us all. They learn about the Mass and are encouraged to attend regularly. They learn about the Sacraments throughout their time in school.

Children in Year 4 celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. The school plays a large part in the children’s preparation for receiving these Sacraments in partnership with parents and catechists of the parish. This preparation takes place through regular workshops outside of school time for children and their parents/carers.

Children receive their First Reconciliation in a service along with their families. They celebrate their First Holy Communion during a special Mass in June.

Following the celebrations, the children continue to practise their Faith at Class Masses and the school provides opportunities for all members of the school community to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Liturgical Seasons of Advent and Lent.
