2021 SACRAMENT INFORMATION
Sacramental preparation throughout 2021 will continue to take a similar approach as was taken last year. Further details will be provided shortly to students within Years 3 and 6, however please see dates and key information below for your diary.
INFORMATION NIGHT (1 hour duration)
Parents are required to attend an information night (any of the dates below) that involves faith formation and practical information about the Sacraments. This information night is for all 3 Sacraments, and it is essential for one parent/guardian to attend if you wish for your child to participate in the Sacramental program this year. You will be required to register in order to attend; further information about this will be available soon. Due to COVID 19 restrictions we are asking that ONLY 1 parent attends and no children are present for the information night.
The dates for the Information Nights are:
- Immaculate Conception Unanderra: Wednesday 10 th March 7 - 8pm, in the Church

SHROVE TUESDAY
On Tuesday 16th February, St Pius X will be having a ‘Pancake Day’ to celebrate the day before Lent commences. Students will be able to purchase 1 large pancake for $2. The funds raised from this day will go towards our school wide fundraising for Project Compassion during the season of Lent. If you would like for your child to have a pancake on this day please complete the note that was sent home last week (blue paper) and return to school with money before Thursday 11th February.
