Sacraments Enrolment Form

Sacraments Enrolment Form
Northern Illawarra Catholic Parishes
Which sacrament do you wish to enrol in?
This year the Sacraments will look a little different due to the current restrictions imposed on the Church under the NSW Public Health Act.
St Columbkille’s Church is permitted to hold a maximum of 90 worshippers at any one time (45 under 4sqm rule / 90 under the 2sqm rule) and thorough cleaning is required before and after each use of the church as per Work Safe Australia guidelines. Therefore, we will be using the School Hall for the Sacrament which allows us to accommodate for slightly higher numbers.
There is a limit of 4 people per family (Candidate, Sponsor and 2 parents/carers) to attend the Sacrament of Confirmation with their child. Hopefully, there will be a slightly higher limit for First Holy Communion.
Any changes to the NSW Health regulations will be updated and you will be notified via the Compass App or email.

About your child's baptism
My child:
# If your child was baptised in a non-Catholic church, they will need to be received into the Catholic Church before continuing with the program.
^ If your child has not been baptised, they will need to be baptised before receiving any of the sacraments prepared by these programs.
* If your child was baptised in an Eastern Catholic Church (such as the Maronite, Melkite or Ukrainian Churches) your child would have received all of the sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation and communion) during their baptism liturgy. The sacrament of confirmation cannot be repeated. Your child is welcome to be part of the program, but they will receive a blessing instead of Confirmation.
Church of Baptism

If your child was not baptised in the Northern Illawarra Parishes (Bulli, Corrimal, Thirroul and Helensburgh), a copy of their certificate will be needed. Please upload a photo or scan of the original certificate below. The Catholic Church recognises as valid baptisms that have been celebrated with pouring or immersion in water, while a minister recites the words of baptism: "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
If you don't have the scan available now, you can submit the form. A copy will be sent to your email address, with a link to return to the form later on to make any changes.
Please upload a copy of their baptism certificate.
Only required if your child was NOT baptised in the Northern Illawarra Parishes (Corrimal, Bulli, Thirroul, Helensburgh). Please name the file with your child's full name.

Choosing a Sponsor and Confirmation Name
Parents should select the baptismal sponsor or godparent of the candidate as the sponsor for the Sacrament of Confirmation. If the baptismal sponsor cannot be
present then a proxy should act on their behalf. The role of the parents is to present their children for Confirmation - not act as a sponsor.
“Sponsors must be at least 16 years of age, be confirmed themselves, be living a life of faith, and not under canonical penalty”. Canon 893, 894.
The Name chosen as Confirmation Name must be after a saint. If the child's baptismal name is a saint's name, that name may be retained for Confirmation.
