Sacramental Program (for Children)
Our Sacramental Program is offered as a collaborative process that is parish-based, family-centred, and school-supported. We offer it once each year, is open to children who have already been baptised and are in Year 2 or above.
The Sacramental journey at Our Lady of the Rosary, Kellyville, begins with Baptism and continues with Reconciliation in Year 2, Holy Communion in Year 3, and Confirmation in Year 6.
Reconciliation
In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we celebrate Christ’s abundant love and mercy, made present through the priest.
“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’” (John 20:21-23).
Child must be Baptised and be in Year 2 or above.
Preparation will include 1 Parent Session and 5 preparation classes which includes the rehearsal prior ceremony, all mandatory attendance.
Sacrament will be received on September 17th and 18th
Registrations for Year 2 students will be open on June 23rd and will be closed by August 4th.
*** We have opened a catch-up preparation course on Term 1, for children enrolled in year 3 or above this year and have missed previous preparations. Please contact our sacramental coordinator on sacraments@olorparishkellyville.org.au for more details to be sent, no later than Feb 7th 2025***
First Holy Communion
At the heart of our faith, stands the Eucharist. Each time we receive the Bread of Eternal Life, we celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ and deepen our union with Him.
“In all truth I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day.”—John 6:53-54

Confirmation
We celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation remembering the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost. Through the laying on of hands and the anointing with Chrism, the Bishop confirms our Baptism with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and strengthens us to follow Christ more closely.
