Due to fewer priests being available, there will be reduced Masses in the parish during September. There will be NO Sunday 5:30pm Mass on 7, 14, 21 or 28 September.

The Parish Office is manned three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by volunteers, see times below:

• Monday from 9am until 12 noon
• Wednesday from 9am until 12 noon
• Friday from 10am until 12 noon

If you want to get a Mass Card, arrange a Mass, add someone to the Bidding Prayers, book an appointment, make an enquiry, collect forms/letters and so forth, someone will be on hand at the reception desk during these times to help you.

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.

Confirmation is a profound step in the faith journey of young Catholics. Alongside Baptism and the Eucharist, it completes their initiation into full membership of the Church. Unlike the earlier sacraments, Confirmation calls for a personal and mature commitment to the faith. For this reason, in our Pastoral Area, we invite young people to consider Confirmation only once they begin to show signs of spiritual maturity—typically no earlier than Year 9 in school.
