Sacrament Preparation for Children

At St Liborius Parish Sacrament Preparation is Parish-Based, School-Supported and Family-Focused.

Our aim is to help children to prepare for receiving Sacraments by learning about and reflecting on the example and teachings of Jesus that relate to the Sacraments. They also learn what the Church teaches about the Sacraments and have plenty of opportunities for questions and exploring the topics.

Our preparation sessions are outside of school hours at the Parish Centre (usually 6pm) and all candidates are required to attend with a family member who will actively take part. Sessions are run by Fr Stephen with a parish team and members of the St Liborius School Staff. Each Sacrament has 4 one-hour preparation meetings (plus a little homework).

Preparation is open to all baptised Catholics who are old enough (grade 3 or older). For those not Catholic or Baptised, it may be possible to take part in the Sacrament Preparation program as part of the process of becoming Catholic or preparing for Baptism.
