Sacramental Program

St Thomas the Apostle Sacramental Program follows the Sacramental Policy issued by the Archdiocese of Brisbane.

In summary;

In the year the children turn eight (Year 3), they are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.
In the year the children turn nine (Year 4), they are welcomed to the Lord’s Table and receive Holy Communion for the first time.
When the children turn ten, they are prepared to celebrate more fully the Sacrament of Penance with individual confession and absolution (1st rite).
