Baptism Programme

The sacrament of Baptism marks the beginning of our life of faith. In Baptism, we are welcomed into God’s family and begin the journey of getting to know and understand the meaning of God’s love. If you would like your child to take part in the Baptism programme or would like more information please reach out to Amber our Director of Religious Studies amber@teresas.school.nz

Sacramental Preparation

This programme covers a study of First Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Holy Communion for children aged between 7 and 16 years old who have been baptised in the Catholic Church. If you would like your child to take part in any of the sacraments this year or would like more information please reach out to Amber our Director of Religious Studies amber@teresas.school.nz

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Reconciliation is the healing and reconciling action of the Holy Spirit. Through this sacrament, we are renewed and recommitted to being open to the action of the Spirit in our lives in helping us to share God's love with others.

Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation is a continuance of what has begun at our baptism; a continuance of the developing awareness and reality of faith and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Our confirmation is the gentle unfolding of what our baptism means.

Sacrament of First Holy Communion

Eucharist means Thanksgiving. The eating of the bread and wine, which are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ to be the food of eternal life, is the sign of our union with Christ.
