Parish Religious Education Program

The mandated teaching resource used by Catechists in the PREP is Gathered in My Name.

Our Lady of Fatima Parish offers Religious Education classes to all children from surrounding non catholic schools for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation.

All our Catechists are trained and volunteer their time to provide Religious Classes and Sacrament Preparation at the appropriate age for children in non catholic schools.

With the support of Our Lady of Fatima School our lessons are held in their classrooms each week.

While Catechists provide the teaching preparation for the sacraments (as do teachers in Catholic primary schools), the Church regards parents of paramount importance to get involved in their child’s sacramental journey.

Sacraments are celebrated in the parish, and through the parish community, new members are welcomed into the much bigger community of the Church. All children who are sacrament candidates, whether they attend Catholic or other schools, are parish candidates.

The Archdiocese of Perth has a family-forced, parish-based, Catholic school and PREP supported approach to the sacraments.

After school PREP classes are held every Wednesday during school terms at the school from 3:45 pm.
