Parent and Child Information Evenings

As part of the program, parents must attend parent & child workshops in the weeks leading up to the celebration of the sacraments.

At the Parent and Child Evenings, we discuss all aspects of your child’s sacraments. These evenings consist of:

• Praying together
• A presentation on the meaning and significance of the Sacrament
• Information about the planning process and practical matters concerning the liturgical celebration
• A blessing at the end

All, including the dates and times of the Sacraments, practise/retreat day, what to wear and photography, etc., will be discussed at these meetings.

Attached to this letter are the relevant dates for each of the sacraments.

The cost of the program, including certificates, photocopying, devotional items, decorations and retreat day expenses, etc., payment is requested as follows:

• $25.00 for First Reconciliation
• $35.00 for First Eucharist
• $35.00 Confirmation.

Payment can be made via Quickcliq.com.au and selecting “Events” and then selecting the Sacrament.
