Sacraments of Healing

Preparation for Reconciliation for children occurs as part of the Parish Sacramental Programme as explained in relation to Confirmation and Communion. Children will receive the sacrament in a modified Second Rite of Reconciliation.

The new Sacramental Guidelines provide for further introduction to the First Rite of Reconciliation when the child is in Year 5.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Reconciliation is by appointment only, please contact the Parish Office.

2nd Rite of Reconciliation is usually offered during Advent & Lent.

Communion to the Sick in a private home or care facility is administered by the Parish Priest or Parish Volunteer upon request to the Parish Office, taking into consideration COVID-19 regulations and restrictions at the time.

One of the most difficult challenges for parishioners is to come to terms with the death of a loved one and to arrange for a funeral at a time when they are grieving.

Our Parish Office Staff will be compassionate and supportive during this process. They will work cooperatively with the Funeral Director and the Priest to deal with all the formalities to reduce the stress for the bereaved, and provide a sacred and loving memorial.
