Sacramental Programme 2021

In Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes we acknowledge parents as the first educators in the Catholic Faith of their children. Our Parish based Sacramental programme reflects this perspective as we
support you in the preparation of your child for the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation.
Each year we conduct an evaluation of our Sacramental Programme. As a result of this year’s review, we would like to inform you of the structure of the 2021 Sacramental Programme.

Prior to enrolling your child into the Lumen Christi Sacramental Programme you, as parents/carers will be asked to attend a parent meeting which will be led by the Parish Administrator, Fr Bernard. This meeting is a requirement for enrolment into any of our Sacramental Programmes.

The Sacramental Programme for each Sacrament (Reconciliation/Confirmation/First Holy Communion) will be five weeks in length, commencing with the Parent meeting mentioned above.
To ensure careful preparation, attendance by the child and an accompanying parent/carer at the following four sessions is essential to ensure preparation for the reception of the Sacraments.
The sessions for each Sacrament will be held in St John Vianney Co-Cathedral commencing at 6.30 pm.
