This parish offers faith development for children unable to attend a Catholic school. The sacrament of Reconciliation is offered in the first year, for children in Grade Three (or older). In the following year, First Eucharist is offered in Grade Four (or older) with continuing faith development classes. The sacrament of Confirmation is completed in the third year of the program, which therefore may be in Grade Five (or older). These sacraments are celebrated in co-operation with Sacred Heart parish primary school and include Family work books which are completed at home.

Support for older children who are not baptised is also given as required.

Regular attendance at parish Sunday Masses is also vital in the faith journey for every child.

Sessions are held on Mondays 4.00-5.00pm, at the Sacred Heart Church, with volunteer catechist (s) who give their talent and time to introduce the children to the wonders of God’s love in these sacraments. Usually, the year begins on the first Monday of February.

A fee of $50.00 per year applies which covers work books, certificates, reflection day expenses and other costs, particularly for the days of these sacraments. Cash payments are accepted at the first session of the year.

Everyone is made welcome at Sacred Heart parish and we always make time after 9.00am Sunday Mass for a chat.
