Prayer and Liturgy

At St Francis de Sales prayer and liturgy is an integral part of school life. Students are provided with the opportunity to participate and engage in prayer on a regular basis, in class, at whole school assemblies or independently. The students are involved in a variety of liturgies to celebrate and commemorate events in our school and community as well as special feasts celebrated in our Church as well as given the opportunity to participate in parish masses as a class.

Sacraments

Our Sacramental preparation is a partnership between the families, school and parish.

The School works in partnership with the Parish and parents to offer a curriculum that supports and develops the child’s understanding of the Sacraments and the significance it has in their lives and the world. The program also includes Family Faith evenings to further support and guide the children and families in preparing for the Sacrament as well as specially dedicated Masses for families, including the Sacramental celebrations, which develops the child’s sense of belonging and importance as part of the Church.

• Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in Year 3
• Sacrament of Eucharist is celebrated in Year 4
• Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in Year 6
• School aged Baptisms | Please contact the Parish office for more information about school aged Baptisms.
