Overall Vision: As Catechists we hope to create moments for you to encounter Christ. We would like to have a programme that helps families and individuals see that the Sacraments are not just a box to tick but that they have an ongoing place in our lives. We want people to start talking to each other about how their lives are connected to their church community and that learning about our faith is an ongoing journey. Our sacramental programme encompasses Reconciliation, Confirmation and Holy Communion.
We offer this to baptised children 8 years and older. Our sessions are interactive and a parent is required to attend each session for children still in primary school. Our hope is that the sacraments become more integrated into daily life, therefore building our community for generations to come.
This is a complete programme and full attendance is necessary, without exception, to all sessions and events in order to receive the Sacraments.

ATTENDANCE: There will be no exceptions regarding full attendance out of respect to those who make an effort to do so. With a doctors certificate, arrangements can be made to have a one on one repeat session to cover the materials. Please mark all the dates on your calendars and cancel other commitments. The program will run during the 3rd term of 2024 if this is a better fit.
