Sacramental Records

Sacramental records are those records created when individuals receive one of the seven sacraments – Baptism, Penance and Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick and Dying

All sacramental records from Catholic Defence chapels, be they on land or sea, are held and recorded in a central location at the Chancery in Canberra.
