Sacramental Program

The Emmaus Parish has a family centred, parish based Sacramental Program which is supported by the three primary schools of St Therese, St Joseph's and St Thomas.

As the primary educators of their children, parents have the right and responsibility to be integrally involved in the sacramental preparation process. Their attendance and participation is crucial to their children's sacramental development.

The Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Communion are offered to baptised Catholic children from 7 years of age. Readiness for the sacraments is not determined by chronological age, but an interest in the sacraments and the Mass and a family's ability to commit to the process of preparation. Preparation involves parent meetings, family workshops, small family groups.

Information regarding registration for the Sacramental Program is available through both the Parish and school newsletters.
