Sacramental Programmes:

These programmes are designed to prepare children and adults to receive the sacraments of the Church.  The preparation of children and that of adults are done separately.

Sacramental Preparation of Children
Baptism
Baptism for infants is arranged through the Parish Office. A preparation night is offered by a member of our Baptism Preparation Team.  Please contact the Parish Office for further details.For children over 7 years of age, a program is offered for the children and parents, leading up to the Baptism and followed closely by the other initiation sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

Confirmation and First Eucharist
We have several different programs throughout the year:  Reconciliation for older children (First Rite) is in Term 1; First Eucharist and Confirmation preparation is in Term 2 and Reconciliation (Second Rite) is offered to young children in Term 3 (as a prerequisite for first Eucharist the following year).

For further information please see brochures at St Joseph’s Church

Anyone interested in helping with catechesis of children or preparation of parents for baby’s Baptism is very welcome to join our teams.
