Welcome to the Sacramental Programme for 2024
Click here to download our Sacramental 2024 Programme brochure
The programme at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish is parish based, family centred, and school supported and aims to support you and your family while you grow together in the knowledge and expression of your faith.
This brochure sets out the dates and requirements for the preparation and celebration of the Sacraments of Confirmation, First Reconciliation and First Communion during 2023.
To enrol your child in the Children’s Sacramental Programme please attend the Information and Enrolment evenings as per the brouchure. You will be required to provide a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate (if not baptised at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, The Entrance). If you are unable to attend the Information and Enrolment evening you will need to contact the parish office to arrange an appointment with a member of the Sacramental team to go through the information for the Sacrament that you are enrolling your child for.
Families are encouraged to attend weekend Masses, particularly during the preparation period for each of the Sacraments as this helps the children to understand the meaning behind the lessons for each Sacrament.
If your child has special needs, we seek to accommodate them in our program so that they may be welcomed and participate in the program in the most appropriate way for them. Please contact Colleen Smith for more information (see details below).
The parish also offers a preparation program for families (where one or both parents are Catholic) with:
children aged seven years and older who are not baptised and would like to receive the Sacrament of Baptism.
children who have been baptised into another Christian denomination who wish to be received into the Catholic Church and participate in the Sacramental Program.
If neither parent is Catholic, we still welcome your enquiry and we are happy to discuss this further with you.
The parish also accommodates any children/young people/adults who have been baptised Catholic who may not have received all the sacraments and parents who may wish to become a Catholic.
