Children in Year 4 are prepared for the Sacraments following the Archdiocese of Liverpool “With You Always” programme. This family catechesis is led by the Parish and provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to work closely with their children, supported by Parish volunteers, and staff from school. For more information, please visit the programme website at http://www.withyoualways.org.uk/
Through Come and See, clear links are made to the Sacramental preparation, and at celebrations throughout the year, School and Parish come together to support the children and their families.
