Baptism

Parents of a first child and those who have had time away from regular attendance at Sunday Mass will be required to attend two evenings of Preparation.

These parents will also be required to attend Mass regularly for at least 3 - 6 months before making their initial appointment to see Fr. William. Parents who are new into the area may be asked for proof of practice from their previous parish priest.

A leaflet giving full details of Baptism Preparation dates during the year is available below or in the Church Foyer.

First Holy Communion

Children are prepared in the Parish, by our Catechetical team for this sacrament. It is a requirement that the children and their parent(s) attend Mass regularly i.e. weekly.

Confirmation is conferred by the Bishop when he visits every three years and also in the intervening years by the Parish Priest on the Feast of Pentecost.
