The School Sacramental Program begins in Year Three with Reconciliation, followed by Communion in Year Four and Confirmation in Year Six. Children must be baptised to take part in the Sacramental Program. Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC) is the program which prepares children (not baptised as infants and in Year One or older), for Baptism. RCIC classes run on a needs basis and last for 6 weeks. RCIC classes are usually on a Wednesday for an hour from 4pm, during 1st and 3rd term. Please call the Parish Office on 9294 3504 to register your child if they have not been baptised and you would like them to attend these classes.

The Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) names the process by which individuals desiring to become the members of the Catholic Church, embrace a journey of spiritual and personal formation. The Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation) are celebrated during the Easter Vigil and the group meet once a week at 7.30pm. Please contact the Parish office for more information.

Each year children are prepared for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation. Parents are involved in these Sacramental programmes. The children from our Government schools are prepared for the Sacraments and receive them at the end of the year on the feast of Christ the King. Their classes are held every Tuesday afternoon between 3:45pm and 4:45pm at St Anthony’s School.
