Dear Parents
Welcome to St. Dominic's Catholic Parish Sacramental Program. We as a Parish will support you as you prepare your child to receive the sacraments.
Parents are the first and foremost teachers of the faith to their children.
If parents teach by example and by word children will grow up to be people of Faith – believing in a loving and forgiving God and living a life of love and concern for others.
Several years ago we began a program of parent meetings to enable parents to feel confident in sharing their faith in their family and to help parents prepare their own children to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
The Sacraments are celebrations of the life and love of Jesus, they are not magic moments, therefore it is absolutely essential that parents understand each sacrament in order to help and support the child.
Our faith is a living, growing journey with our God. Children deserve the best, all the support, love and care we can give.
In the Parish of Melton we begin with helping our children to understand God's presence in our world, the role of the Church in the world, the story of our faith (The Bible) and the place of prayer in our lives. One practical way of doing this, is by offering Children's Liturgy of the Word, which is a special lesson, held during our Sunday Masses.
RECONCILIATION PROGRAM for children who are in grade 3 or older
EUCHARIST PROGRAM only after Reconciliation Program – for children who are in grade 4 or older
CONFIRMATION PROGRAM only after Reconciliation and Eucharist Program for children who are in grade 6 or older
In order for our faith to be real and active our support and encouragement must ring true. Like many parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Melbourne, we, at St. Dominic's pledge to support and help parents as far as possible.
“The family is a place where we are special,
where we learn the rules of life to prepare us
for the world.
If we grow up in a loving, believing family
We are ready for the world”.
Yours In Christ
