The Program
(For children not attending Our Parish School)
Preparing children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation (the Sacraments that complete our Christian Initiation which began in Baptism) is primarily the responsibility of parents. This is a responsibility that all parents promise to undertake when their children are baptised as infants.
God’s love and presence are made real and celebrated in the Sacraments. Important times and experiences in our lives are celebrated and enlivened by God’s presence. Each Sacrament signifies, in a particular way, the transforming love of God and the new life which Jesus Christ brings. Your Parish is ready to assist you in the joyous responsibility of preparing your children for the Sacraments and, to this end, you and your children are invited to become fully involved in the ongoing life of your Parish Family in addition to the Sacramental preparation program offered for your children.
