At Our Lady of Lourdes, the Sacramental Programme is a very special part of our children’s faith journey and an important stage in their spiritual development. Working closely with Fr Paul and our parish community, we support our children as they prepare to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

Our Sacramental Programme is not simply preparation for receiving the sacraments; it is an opportunity for children to grow in faith, confidence and belonging within the Church community. Together with families, Fr Paul and the parish, we nurture and support our children as they continue their journey of faith and learn to live out Gospel values in their everyday lives.
