Sacramental Programme (Children)

Our Sacramental Programme is conducted annually and is for baptised Catholic children to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, Confirmation & First Eucharist. It is a momentous time in your child’s faith journey and gives them the divine graces we all need to continue to grow and deepen our faith.

REGISTRATION FOR OUR 2026 SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMME WILL CLOSE ON 30 OCTOBER 2025.

Please register online here.

Children need to be 8 years old by 1 March 2026 to be eligible for the 2026 programme.

Sacramental Programme FAQ

Receiving the Sacraments is a gift and it is of the utmost importance that families provide support for their child, including:

  • Attending Sunday Mass each week with their child
  • Attending all sessions of the programme with their child, and completing any follow up activities together
  • Making sure that God and faith are an intrinsic part of their child’s life on a daily basis
