COMMUNION 2025

First Holy Communion is the second sacrament of initiation continuing the journey begun in baptism. It is one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic’s life. Most Catholic children generally receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion when they’re seven or eight years of age because this is considered the age of reason.

PARTICIPATION

Our parish relies on each and every one of us to thrive and do God’s work.  Whatever your age or situation, we need your time and skills to make a difference.  Whether you have time to give weekly, monthly or on an ad-hoc basis, we do need you.

Confirmation 2025

Confirmation marks a significant milestone in the journey of young Catholics. With Baptism and the Eucharist, the sacrament of Confirmation completes the process of becoming full members of the Church. In our Pastoral Area, young people are normally confirmed when they have reached at least Year 9 at school.

MACMILLAN CAKE SALE

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is one of MACMILLAN’s main fundraising events.  Our Children’s Liturgy group has decided to show its support and fundraise for Macmillan by organising a coffee morning and cake sale on Friday 27 September.

Come along to Tea in the Pot in the First Committee Room any time from 8:30am to 11am.  Enjoy a cuppa and a chat with friends and parishioners.
