2025 Sacramental Program

2025 Sacramental Program for St Joseph’s and St Laurence O'Toole Primary Schools

St Laurence O'Toole Primary School and St Joseph’s Primary Schools work together as parishes in partnership which includes coming together for our Sacramental Program.

Throughout 2024, all sacraments and sacramental workshops were held in Leongatha at either the St Laurence O’Toole Church or St Laurence’s Primary. In 2025, all sacraments and sacramental workshops will be held in Korumburra at St Joseph’s Church or St Joseph’s Primary. Therefore all families from St Laurence’s and St Joseph’s Primary Schools who choose for their child/children to make their sacraments will require a commitment to attend Korumburra for both the Parent & Child Workshop and the Sacrament Mass. Students who attend other schools in the local area are also invited to join in.

During the Sacramental program, your school and Parish will support your family in preparing your child for The Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist and one of the Sacraments of Healing – Reconciliation. These sacraments lay the foundations of every Christian life, and allow for the faithful to be born, renewed and strengthened into the Christian faith.

Students are invited to make their Sacraments in the following year levels:

• Reconciliation – Grade 3

• Eucharist/Holy Communion – Grade 4

• Confirmation – Grade 6

Note: A child in an older grade who hasn’t made their Sacraments at the usual time is also invited to join in with the Sacrament preparations as they arise within the school year as long as the child has been baptised.

All dates for the Sacramental Program will be decided before the end of this year.
