Sacraments

BAPTISMS

Baptisms take place in our Church on Saturdays and Sundays. If you would like to arrange a Baptism, please contact the Parish Priest. Two preparation sessions precede the celebration of the Sacrament.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNIONS

Inscription for the First Holy Communion Course begins in September; the course starts the following January. Children, who must be at least 7 years of age (at time of First Communion), are prepared for First Confession and First Holy Communion in June.

HOLY MATRIMONY

Every month the Parish Priest hosts a meeting for all who have the intention of marrying. This meeting is then followed up by several other meetings where the spiritual, practical and theological aspects of Marriage are discussed and explained. We also supervise the paperwork and documentation required, as well as assisting with the all-important Order of Service!

CONFIRMATION

The Bishop visits once every two years to celebrate this Sacrament. However, many need to be confirmed between these visits, and the Parish Priest runs regular classes for those who wish to be Confirmed privately.

ANOINTING OF THE SICK

This can be arranged by contacting the Parish Priest, who is also very happy to bring Holy Communion to the sick and housebound.

HOLY ORDERS

Those contemplating a vocation to the Priesthood, Diaconate, or Religious Life, are invited to contact the Parish Priest.
