In keeping with the Sacramental Policy of the Archdiocese of Brisbane, our Sacramental Program is parish-based, family-centred and school-supported. The preparation requires commitment from you and your family to attend activities that we offer, and upon your enrolment, we have clear expectations that you will participate fully in the program.

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. Parents must regard their children as children of God and respect them as human persons. Showing themselves obedient to the will of the Father in heaven, they educate their children to fulfill God’s law.  Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents.

Children will not “graduate” upon receiving Confirmation and First Holy Communion, rather, it will mark their official welcome as a full participant into the Catholic Church and their parish community. After receiving First Holy Communion, children will regularly receive the Eucharist at mass.
