The next step of your Confirmation journey is to meet with our Parish Priest. This will be an opportunity for you to officially enrol for Confirmation and to ask any questions you may have about the sacrament. It is important for both parents and child to attend this meeting and we have made a variety of meeting times available to suit your family schedule.

(This meeting can be booked in before or after the information session. Meetings can be booked up to twenty days in advance and we will keep meetings available until the end of May).

(Update 27/02) - Due to Road closures for the Sydney Marathon, our Confirmation Date has had to be changed by the Cathedral. 

The new date and time for Engadine Parish is - 17th August 3:30pm

St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney.

Every year one deanery from Sydney Archdiocese is selected to host their confirmations at St Mary's Cathedral. This year, the parishes of Sutherland Shire will have the opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation in this beautiful and historic church. The sacrament will be conferred on children from our parish during Mass on Sunday, August 17 at 3.30pm, in the Cathedral Church.

Remember our life as Catholics is living according to the faith and tradition received from the apostles of Jesus. It is accepting Jesus as Son of God and Son of Man, risen from the dead and is present in our life today; it is celebrating Him in the sacred traditions of the sacraments with the community, particularly the Holy Eucharist on Sundays; it is listening to God speaking through the Scriptures and the teachings of the Church; and living our lives guided by the moral and ethical teachings on love and relationship, respecting life and its dignity, ensuring justice, and being charitable to those most in need. This is the faith of the Church we want live and the children to grow up with.

It means also staying connected to your parish, our faith community and celebrating  together every weekend the Eucharist. Bring your children to the church, even if they are a bit noisy or restless. Keep this as a priority and let us all grow united in faith and love.

Children are welcome at all Masses before and after their baptism.  Kiddies have a Corner at the back of the Engadine church,  offering more space and boxes of books for your children to enjoy. There is Children's Liturgy on Sundays of School term at 9.30am for children of school age. Help children who have received holy communion to  attend the whole Mass. For teens and older children our Youth Mass is every Sunday evening at 5pm at Engadine.  

We also encourage you to connect to one of our Parish Groups and become involved in our faith community.
