Special Religious Education Programs
Special Religious Education (or SRE) is an important ministry within the Parish supporting parents and students in the religious education of students attending government schools.
Unfortunately, coronavirus has had an impact on this important ministry. At the end of March the NSW Department of Education advised that all Religious Education was to pause. As we emerge from these restrictions, Religious Education is now back in schools from the beginning of Term 3. Unfortunately, many of those involved in the ministry fit into the vulnerable category according to health guidelines.
