2026 Sacramental Program Enrolment

Dear Parents,

Enrolments have opened for the 2026 Sacramental Program in the Brooklyn Park – Richmond Parish. This enrolment is open to any child who is in Year 3 or above in 2025 and has been baptized Catholic.

The three sacraments that will be celebrated in 2026 are Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Communion. Please note: if your child has previously celebrated any of these Sacraments, they are able to enrol in the program to participate in just those that they have not yet celebrated.

If you wish to enrol your child in the program, please complete an enrolment form that is available at the sacristy of two churches or Schools, including either a scanned copy or photo of your child’s baptism certificate attached and email these back to the parish,  parish@brooklynparkrichmond.org.au

Hard copies of the form can be returned to the school office.

Enrolment forms need to be returned by Friday the 8th of December 2025.

There will be opportunity for questions at the Information Parent Meeting at 6:30pm, on Tuesday 17th of February 2026, in the St John Bosco church Hall, 17 Lipsett Terrace. Brooklyn Park.

If you have any questions regarding this program, feel free to contact the parish office or the office of the school for clarification.

Kind Regards,

Fr. Long Hai Nguyen, PP 05/11/2025

One of the customs of the Schoenstatt movement is to have an icon of Mary travel to people's homes. We read in Luke's Gospel that after the Annunciation, Mary goes with haste to the home of her cousin, Elizabeth in order to help her in her own pregnancy. 

Mary Is a great helper and a welcome visitor. Parishioners can nominate to receive the icon at home for a week as a way to welcome her powerful prayers and help for our families. You can request the Icon more than once!

The Pilgrim mother Icon began her Pilgrimage with Mass on the Feast of the Visitation, 7pm Monday, May 31, 2021 at St John Bosco Church. 

If you would like to receive the icon for a week, please contact pilgrim@brooklynparkrichmond.org.au  

Please return the icon to St Aloysius Church before the 11am Mass on Sunday so that the next family on the roster can start their visit with Mary.
