Hello, my name is Jocelyne Benoit and I have been in the part time role of sacraments resource person for the last couple of years in addition to my role as education consultant in religion for the Catholic Education Office.  I am a member of  the Diocesan Liturgical Commission and the role supports our families of the Diocese. I am part of the pastoral ministries of the Diocese and am appointed by Bishop Michael.

The main task has been to review the diocesan policy on sacraments and this is a work in progress.  I have also conducted a review of the resources available to the diocese for sacraments for school aged children, namely; Liturgy Brisbane, Evangelisation Brisbane, Garrett Publishing, Broken Bay and the MacKillop Sacramental Programme. Note: Liturgy Brisbane has revised p18 of the Penance book.

Dynamic Catholic also has an online free programme available at https://dynamiccatholic.com/blessed The student book and teacher guide are free to download, and the videos are accessible to all. Please contact me regarding any queries.

Confirmation dates have been set and information regarding readings (outside of Mass) for Year C will be forthcoming from the Bishop’s Office. 

Please feel free to contact me regarding any queries concerning sacramental preparation for school aged children. (phone 4994 8104).
