Our Assistant Principal Religious Identity and Mission (APRIM) works closely with the Brighton Parish Pastoral Associate to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation, Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation.
Our approach is based on the understanding and acknowledgment that parents and families are the key faith educators of their children. Our parish-based and school-supported program aim to support parents in the preparation of their child to celebrate the sacraments.
Our Sacramental preparation is a very special time for the whole parish community. Parent Information sessions and Parent/Child workshops are held out of school hours prior to celebrating the sacraments. Parents and children meet with other families in small groups, undertaking small group activities, discussions and simple homework tasks over a period of a few weeks. In this way, small communities of families get to know each other and celebrate together.
