Program Values

The content of the lessons for All Years is based on the program ‘Gathered in My Name’, which has been developed by the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth Catechist Service.  Children are encouraged to attend classes regularly and stay in the program all year round. Failure to attend classes may result in your child not being able to receive their Sacrament with the current batch of students.  

To run the program, we need your help and cooperation in the following ways:

• Ensure that your child attends classes on time and regularly, as lessons follow on from one another. If your child cannot attend class, please contact the Coordinator (Arlene Bailey) via email parishoffice@ourladyqueenofapostles.com, or our Parish Priest (Fr Paul Manickathan) on 0408 410 029, or the Parish Office on 6188 6877.

• Take an interest in what your child is doing and ensure the notes sent home are read and followed through.

• Ensure your child bring a pen/pencil, coloured pencils, scissors, glue stick to class every week. Your class teacher may also have additional requirements.

• Help your child to understand and participate at Sunday Mass by encouraging regular attendance.  At the Saturday 6pm Mass and Sunday 9am Mass there is a special Liturgy of the Word for children in primary school, which helps them to better understand the Readings.  Encourage your child to receive Reconciliation (Saturdays 4pm – 5pm).

We aim to make the classes interesting and enjoyable. The catechists are volunteers who are either teachers or who have completed the Catechist training course.  They deserve respect and consideration from both you and your children. 

Thank you in anticipation of your support and cooperation. The Catechist Team and our Parish Priest are looking forward to an enjoyable year ahead, as we work together for the formation of your children.
