In the Diocese of Broken Bay the order of reception of the Sacraments is: Baptism, Confirmation, First Reconciliation and Eucharist (Holy Communion).
Sacrament preparation programs in the Diocese of Broken Bay are family based/parish supported programs. They are structured in such a way that parents and children spend quality time with each other throughout the program.
The preparation sessions will be facilitated by members of our Parish sacramental team. Our facilitators will assist your child by providing reading material, a workbook and assist you and your child to prepare worthily to receive the sacraments.
If there are any extenuating circumstances, regarding times and dates, please make an appointment to see the Parish Priest no later than one week prior to the first Parent Information and Enrolment session. Alternative arrangements will need to be made in case of missing any of the preparation sessions.
