Sacramental Journey


​Sacraments are indeed sacred moments that we celebrate during our life journey.  The Sacraments of Initiation into the Catholic Faith are Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist.  At Baptism we are welcomed into God’s Family and the Faith Community.  The journey of faith continues when children are about 8, 9 & 10 years of age. 

The Brisbane Archdiocesan Sacramental Policy has been rewritten and a new policy launched in 2015 for Parishes to implement.   Our St. Joseph’s community has implemented the programme in 2016.  In practical terms, Confirmation is the first sacrament celebrated in Year 3 and upwards.  Reconciliation and First Eucharist is then celebrated the following year, in Year 4 and upwards.  

​Our St. Joseph’s Parish offers a preparation program prior to the celebration of each of the Sacraments that includes: 
Parent information meetings to support families in their ongoing faith formation, Rituals for the children to participate in during weekend Eucharist and Family Workshops which aim to provide relaxed God moments, enjoyed by adults and children alike.
If you would like to know more about the Sacramental Program please contact the Parish Office on Monday, Tuesday or Friday.

Other information on the Sacraments of Initiation is available on the Archdiocese of Brisbane 'Flame of Faith' website.
