sacramental programme
The Sacramental Programme is the means by which baptised children can complete their journey into full membership of the Catholic Church. Children are provided with support to make the sacrament of Reconciliation (formerly first Confession) and their first Holy Communion. The Sacramental programme strives to help them feel a real sense of belonging to the wider Family of God.
The Sacramental Programme runs in parallel with the Year 3 RE Syllabus in RC schools in the Diocese of Salford. Whilst most of the children who attend our programme will be in Year 3 in St Stephen's RC Primary school, we extend a warm welcome to children from other schools who live in the Parish to join us. We will adapt the programme to the needs of these and older children.
Ideally, the programme involves a close partnership between the parish, the home and school - but if your child does not attend a Catholic school, we will do all we can to prevent them from missing out on anything.
If your child doesn't attend St Stephen's Primary and you are interested in enrolling them in the programme for 2017-18 please speak to Father Bernard after any Mass. Alternatively you prefer you can complete the form below:
