Sacramental Preparation Programs

The Parish Sacramental Preparation Program is run in accordance with the Sacramental Policy of the Archdiocese of Brisbane :
​
  • In the year when the children turn eight (Year 3), they are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

  • In the year when the children turn nine (Year 4), they are welcomed to the Lord's Table and recieve First Holy Communion (Sacrament of Eucharist).

  • The Sacrament of Penance is a two-step process:
    a)  A simple celebration of the second rite of the Sacrament of Penance in
         preparation for First Holy Communion
    b)  In the year when the children turn ten (Year 5), they prepare for the
         Sacrament of Penance with individual confession and absolution
         (the first rite).

The sacramental programs for the above sacraments are a pastoral activity involving the family and parish communities.  The School has a shared responsibility with the parish and is supported through the school's Religious Education Curriculum P-12.
Our current Sacramental Preparation Program

The Holy Family Parish will commence the Sacrament of Eucharist program with a Parent’s information night held on Monday 13th September 2021 at 6pm in the Church. Work booklets will be handed out at the information night.

The program is a parent/caregiver led approach and parents are encouraged to attend the parent information night. Parents will guide the children with the booklet over the weeks. It’s very simple and designed so that parents have a ‘hands on’ approach in the Sacrament of Eucharist.

To be eligible, the child must be 9 years of age (Year 4) and Confirmed.

Please hand in or email the completed form (see below) to the Parish Office by Monday 13th September :
