Parish Sacramental Journey:
CICCA
[Christian Initiation of Children of Catechetical Age]
Dear Parents
Registrations are now open for all children over 7 years who wish to receive the Sacraments in 2021. There are four steps:
1. Register, 2. Participation in Liturgy, 3. Invitation and 4. Enrolment/Prepare/Celebrate.
Step 1: Contact the parish office and Sacrament Registrar, Michelle, NOW, on 3849 7158 and register your child who will receive a Mass card.
Step 2: Register to come along with your child to any of the weekend parish Masses to enable your child to learn the ropes, feel confident in the church, participate in the liturgy as he/she is ready and begins to feel at home.
Step 3: As Fr Pat gets to know you and your child he will write and invite you to take the next step.
Step 4: Children are enrolled in the Sacrament Program and will attend family centred activity sessions to prepare for the celebration of Confirmation and First Communion.
From registration to reception of the Sacraments, are practices are based on a child’s readiness. It is tailored individually for families and children. There are many children from approximately 14 schools within our Parish who are involved in our Parish Sacramental Journey. If any children are not yet Baptised for any reason, please contact the parish office to speak to us. Both Fr Pat and I are happy to talk to you about the process and assist you in any way.
May God’s Spirit guide and direct us on this journey.

APOSTLE’S CREED
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

All Saints Day 2020 John the seer relates two extraordinary apocalyptic visions. Alt-hough they differ, placed together as they are here, the second adds a dimension to the first. The events of the first vision seem to unfold on earth; those of the second take place in heaven. Both visions de-pict vast assemblies of the righteous. Those sealed with God’s seal
belong to God. The second scene is the divine throne room in heaven. The multi-tude gathered from every nation, race, people and tongue are those who have sur-vived eschatological distress because they were purified through the blood of the sacrificial Lamb. This distinction certainly entitles them to participate in the escha-tological celebrations. These few short verses from the Letter of John are brim-ming with theological meaning. The first and more important point is the love that God has for believers. This love is generative; it is transforming; it makes believers children of God. A second theme is eschatological fulfilment. The ‘now but not yet’ of Christian eschatology is clearly stated. As a consequence of God's love, believ-ers have already been reborn as children of God. However, transformation has not yet been completed, nor has it been fully made known to them. All of this is de-pendent upon a future manifestation. Then they will see God as God is, for they will be like God. The teachings of Jesus are all in some way directed toward the establishment of the reign of God. It is clear that each beatitude invites us to turn the standards of our world and our way of life upside down and inside out.
