Baptism
Baptisms are normally held at 3.30pm on a Saturday afternoon or 10am on Sundays depending on Priest availability.
For a baptism pack please call the Parish Office on 6684 2106 (Tuesdays- Thursdays, 10am-4.30pm).
Please note that Baptism preparation is required with our priest.

Children’s Sacramental Program
A Sacramental Program is run every year starting with an information night in March.
If your child is a baptised Catholic and entering into Year 3, they are eligible for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Reconciliation and First Communion will follow the following year (Year 4).
Children not attending St John’s Primary will be led through a preparation program that runs once a week for 4 weeks before the Sacrament.
If your child is older than Year 3 and has not received any of the sacraments and is Baptised Catholic, eligibility for all three Sacraments will be on a case by case basis.
Please contact the parish office in February if you would like your child to take part or for further information.

Marriage
Please contact our parish office if you would like to marry in one of our churches, or would like our priest to marry you at another location.

Penance – Rite of Reconciliation
Please speak to Father Michael before Mass to organise.

Anointing of the Sick
We hold Anointing Masses every two months. Please check the parish bulletin for the next listed Mass.
An addition to the Anointing Mass is a Home Prayer Service Format you may wish to do in your home with family and friends.
If you require an urgent anointing please contact Fr David Gilbey on 6685 6260.
