Children's After School Faith Education Classes
To become fully Catholic an individual receives not only the Sacrament of Baptism, but also the other three Sacraments of Initiation the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation.
For many, this process of Initiation is completed when they attend a Catholic Primary School.
Those not attending a Catholic School therefore are given the option of participating in Catechist classes in an 'After School Programme' for each Sacrament. Each Sacrament usually requires approx. a 7-week programme.
The following list (in order of Reception) indicates the minimum age necessary for each Sacrament. It is never a problem if the child is older.
- First Reconciliation is celebrated the year of their 8th Birthday.
- First Eucharist is celebrated the year of their 9th Birthday.
- Confirmation is celebrated the year of their 11th Birthday.
If you would like your child / children to participate in this Programme please download and print the Enrolment Form below. It can be posted or emailed to the Parish.
Please Note: If your child is not yet Baptised please contact the Parish Office to organise their Baptism before participating in the above Programme. Thank you.
