Sacramental Program
Catholic children are prepared at school for the following Sacraments:
Reconciliation (Penance) – Year 2
- Reconciliation gives understanding of God’s forgiveness.
Eucharist – Year 3
- Eucharist deepens the child’s awareness of Jesus as a personal friend.
Confirmation – Year 6
- Confirmation widens the child’s knowledge of the Reality and Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Children who are not Catholics take part in the preparation and are encouraged to participate in the Celebrations, but do not receive the Sacraments.
