A Sacrament is an outward sign manifesting the grace of God. They are signs of what is promised to all who live a full human life of love, forgiveness and service.
There are seven Sacraments: Baptism, Reconciliation (Confession), Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing the Sick and Holy Orders.
The Hibiscus Coast Catholic Community 'celebrates' the conferment of the Sacraments. Baptism, First Holy Communion and Confirmation bring us together to witness and celebrate these outward signs of our Faith.

Baptism
Group baptisms take place once a month in the parish. In preparation for the baptism of their children, parents are required to attend a pre-baptismal programme.

Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Eucharist
In preparation for the following year, notification of Sacramental Programmes are posted to all children 8 years of age and over who are eligible. Children and parents participate in a preparatory programme assisted by the Sacramental Team.
Usually candidates make their first Reconciliation during the Season of Lent. Confirmations and First Holy Communications take place as close as possible to Pentecost.
Adults wishing to be initiated into the Catholic church participate in an RCIA programme which is held weekly on a Sunday for a period of 6 months.

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues
and the Spirit enabled them.
