Special notes for all sacraments

  1. The baptism certificates that will need to be presented when the enrolment forms are returned should be obtained beforehand and not requested when returning the forms.
  2. People from other parishes, such as Berkeley or Dapto, should normally enrol for the sacraments in their own parishes.
  3. The details on this form are as accurate as they can be at this time. Some adjustments may occur during the year.
  4. More complete details will be provided with the enrolment forms for each sacrament.
