The invitation to prepare and celebrate the Sacraments is always offered with the understanding that parents are the first educators in faith for their children.  If you would like to discuss the sacramental preparation or readiness of your child for any of the Sacraments with our parish, please contact the Parish Office on 9816 9291 or email [email protected]

If you would like your child to be prepared for one of the Sacraments through the after-school Sacramental Program, we invite you to complete the Expressions of Interest form.
