Our parish has on average 500 children per year participating in our Children’s Sacramental program. The Sacramental Team assists in welcoming these children and their families, and the organisation of the parent nights, workshops, the celebrations of the sacraments. If this sounds like a team in which you could share your talents, please contact the office.
