First Holy Communion and Confirmation
Quick Link to Video Presentations
 First of all
- The child has already completed the Sacrament of First Reconciliation
- One parent is a Catholic and both parents are agreeable to the celebration
- A baptism certificate for the child is available
Next
- The parish prepares 3 times a year. Families decide which programme
- A parent attends an INFORMATION EVENING (dates for 2012 below)at Stella Maris church. Children do not attend this information evening.
- At the Information evening parents will be given an envelope with a Request Form and a Passport for their child
- Parents are asked to go home and discuss with the family regarding the commitment that is asked of parents and child to prepare for the sacraments of Confirmation and First Commuinion.
Parents begin 6 weeks attending Mass with their child, getting the Passport filled out and signed by the priest at Mass each week.
This does not have to be 6 consecutive weeks. It may take some families longer to complete this part of the commitment.
During this time the child will work online on the Parish Website for 6 sessions prepared by Fr Joe.
These sessions will be helpful to children to understand about the Mass.
When this is done parents come into the office with the request form and completed Passport and enrol in the Confirmation and 1st Communion Program. The program is offered at three differnet times during the year.
