Sacrament Program:

2024 Sacrament Preparation

The Meander Valley Catholic Parish welcomes families who wish to present their children for reception of the Sacraments this year.

A Sacrament is a special sign of God’s presence. Sacraments are God’s gift to the church, and it is through them that we become members of God’s family. The preparation and celebration of the Sacraments for school-aged children are family centred, parish based, and school supported.

An information evening will be held for parents of children aged 8 years and above to learn more about the sacraments in general and will be of interest to those who may be considering presenting their children for Penance (Reconciliation), Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist.

Also, parents of unbaptised children are also most welcome to attend this meeting if they are considering baptism for them.

This meeting will be held on Tuesday 9th April, at Our Lady of Mercy School, commencing at 5:00 pm 

Preparation for the Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation) is due to commence on Tuesday, 30th April. Further information on the dates and the process involved in Sacrament preparation will be shared at the information evening. 

Please contact Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School on 6362 2323 or Fr Ben on 0448 527 140, to register your interest or for further information.
