Home Based Religious Education Program for Children Attending Non- Catholic Schools

The Home-Based Religious Education Program is a Sacramental Program offered for students whose parents believe that it’s timely for their child/children to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. The program is conducted during the period from February to September every year.

Details of the program are as follows:

• Pre-Sacrament Class, Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation Classes

Attend eight Workshops once a month on a Tuesday.

• All the Sacraments have one compulsory child/parent preparation class where the details of the program are explained with clear instructions on the roles and responsibilities of the parents, children and parish.

• At the beginning of the program, each child will be given a “Sacramental Journey” booklet. With the expectation, that children and their families will attend regular Sunday Mass during the preparation of the program. More information on this will be explained during our Parent’s meeting.

• The program also will include any child from Grades 3 to 5 who wishes to be Baptised.

• All children who have not had previous religious instructions in a Catholic school or in a Parish Sacramental class must enrol in the Pre-Sacrament class. This year will give you a basis for the following years and must be completed before beginning preparation for Reconciliation.

• If this is your child’s first year in the program, we require a copy of

child’s Baptism certificate if he/she is baptised.
