Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation
We welcome you and your child into the life of our Parish through the Sacrament of Confirmation. This Sacrament of Initiation is a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to renew their faith; to discover God who is present in all we do.
You are the first teacher of your child’s faith. In their preparation for the sacrament we, the parish and school community, will support you. However, we rely on your involvement in home learning and at Mass each weekend.
Students Attending Good Shepherd, Holy Spirit or Mother Teresa Primary Schools
Preparation will be provided by you at home and supported by their classroom learning.

Sacraments can be received at any age. All Confirmation sessions will be held at Holy Spirit Parish Church, Burdekin Ave, Amaroo.
