Important Information

​

Classes and Rehearsal

Classes for the children will be conducted in the weeks prior to the sacrament, in the Parish Centre, 345 Burwood Road (off Lynch St, next to Billy Lids). Children will need to bring their pencil cases.

​​

​​​​Cost

To cover costs we ask that each family contribute a fee per child. This fee covers the cost of the classes & materials, certificates, etc.

​

Baptismal Certificate

A copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate will need to be sighted by myself (and a copy taken) before classes commence. N.B. I won’t need a baptismal certificate if your child was baptised at the Hawthorn Parish but please indicate this when booking.
