Gratitude is extended to the overwhelming number of adults and children in the FHC programme who were present last weekend to collect their books. Our sacramental programmes are based on mutual obligation. And so it’s been very reassuring that about 90% of families are always meeting the various requirements.

The accompanying notes for parents to assist their children will again be distributed this weekend. Parents and carers need to assist the children read and complete every question or puzzle on pages 10-16.

Attendance needs to be recorded and the second week assistance sheet collected. Some books are still to be collected. If not collected this weekend, families will be presumed to have withdrawn from the programme. First week assistance sheets are included with the books which can be collected from the musicians area.
