The Parish offers a Sacramental Program to students not attending Catholic schools. The program usually commences a few weeks after Term 1 starts.
Classes are held at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church (68 John Dory Drive, Ocean Grove) from 4:00pm to 5:00pm.
Parents and families are asked to submit an (online) enrolment form with supporting Sacramental Certificates before DATE to register their child(ren). Class numbers are capped and limited.
We require a copy of your child(ren)’s Baptism certificate and any other Sacramental Certificate upon enrolment. Your child must be baptised prior to commencing the Sacramental Program.
The program fee is $100.00 per family. Note: this fee is subject to change. We kindly ask for the fee to be paid within 14 days of submitting your enrolment form and receiving availability confirmation from the parish office. Please do not make your payment until you have received the confirmation email from the parish office. Please contact the parish office if you have any questions or concerns.
Children can only receive one Sacrament per year. Our Sacramental Program is run by wonderful volunteers; however, our resources are limited and classes run at the same time.
Please see below for additional information.
