Parish Life and Ministry
Sacramental Program - Reconciliation/First Communion/Confirmation
A family based program is held within the Region. This starts with an Information/Enrolment night held early February each year. Families are put into small groups and meet once a week for 3 weeks for Eucharist and Confirmation. The parents do the Reconciliation program at home with their children.

This is offered in the parish - the course normally begins about September and goes through to Easter the following year when people are received into the church at the Easter vigil. Those interested should contact the parish office.
