Parish Sacramental Program

Dear Parents,

We are currently organising our Sacramental programs for 2025 and are looking for confirmation of candidate numbers for each of these programs. All students will participate in Sacramental preparation as part of our regular Religious Education program which is based on the Diocese of Sale’s To Live in Christ Jesus program. However only Catholic students receive the Sacrament. 

Please contact Wendy Fall (wendy.fall@olsscowes.catholic.edu.au) if you would like your child to celebrate one of the Sacraments this year.

• Celebration of the Sacrament will take place on Tuesday 1st April

SACRAMENT OF EUCHARIST (First Communion)
