Sacraments 2025

At St John Vianney’s, we’re pleased to support families participating in the Parish-led sacramental program. This program is a special journey for you and your child, with Reconciliation typically celebrated in Year 3, Eucharist in Year 4, and Confirmation in Year 6.

The program includes a faith formation workbook, reflection hours, and Gathering Masses to help guide your child’s faith journey. Enrolment is simple and can be completed through the Qkr! App by searching for Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish. We look forward to supporting your family on this meaningful path.

Gospel Reflection: Mark 13:24-32

In this Gospel, Jesus talks about signs of change and reminds us that while some things may pass away, His words and promises will never disappear. Just like watching a fig tree grow new leaves reminds us that summer is coming, these changes remind us that God is always with us, guiding us. For families, this is a chance to talk about trusting God’s presence, even when things feel uncertain. Jesus teaches that while we can’t know everything about the future, we can hold onto faith, knowing that God's love and guidance are always with us, no matter what lies ahead.
