At St Ethelbert’s, we are dedicated to nurturing the spiritual growth and development of our students. Our Sacramental Program offers a meaningful and prayerful experience for students and their families as they prepare to receive the sacraments.

Grounded in Church teachings, this program seeks to deepen faith, inspire personal reflection, and build a strong sense of community. Led by our devoted staff and in partnership with families, our students are invited to experience God’s love and grace as they progress in their faith journey.
