We explore and celebrate the church's Mission in lots of ways in our school and parish. One important way is that we prepare students for the Sacraments.  Sacraments are special blessings, aimed to strengthen us along life's journey.  There are seven Sacraments in our Church: Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist (First Holy Communion), Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders and Anointing. We prepare students for Reconciliation in Gr 3, Eucharist in Gr 4 and Confirmation in Gr 5/6.

Sometimes at these special celebration times,  families can show interest in or ask questions about becoming Catholic.  Sometimes I hear families say at enrolment time, that they want this faith journey for their children, but that they just haven't got around to it yet.  Perhaps now might be the right time...

I'd like to extend a warm invitation to you and your children.

Interested in exploring the Catholic Faith journey?  We warmly invite you to join us!  We're here to answer any questions you may have and can host an information session if you'd like. The process starts with Baptism and this can be celebrated at any age.  If your child is interested then we could arrange a chat with Fr Bernard first and then a session with Gail,  our Parish's Baptism coordinator.  If you are interested in exploring this option for yourself, please feel especially welcome to chat with myself or Taryn, and then we'll talk with Fr Bernard and we'll work out some faith sessions to support you in exploring this path.  These faith sessions are informative and thought provoking and can be arranged at suitable times for you, there are about 6 sessions.  For adults, this process usually involves asking a sponsor to join you as a support.  Adults are usually welcomed into the church at Easter time.  Please know this is a welcoming invitation, certainly not an expectation.  There is no doubt in my mind that faith is a gift that enhances and gives life meaning, it is not something forced upon us.
