Sacramental Program for Secondary School Students

Kedron Parish is looking to support Padua College and Mount Alvernia College students who would like to complete their sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church. The intention is to have an after-school program that will prepare students for the sacraments of Baptism, Communion, Reconciliation and Confirmation. Often First Communion in the Archdiocese is normally around the age of nine (Year 4); however, this program will be adapted to the age of the older students involved. By doing this program the students will be able take a more active part in the celebration of the Eucharist at school and prepare them for a greater connection with the Church community. The parish is seeking an expression of interest in running the program. If you are interested please contact Richard Rogusz, rogur@staff.mta.qld.edu.au, prior to Friday 27 August.
