Sacraments
& Funeral Guidelines
Baptism
Baptism is the gateway to life in the Spirit.
At present, our Baptism preparations are being held online. When you register to Baptise your child, you will receive the log in details. Too book a time for your child's Baptism, please attend the Parish Priest's Surgery, where you can drop in on a Monday evening between 17:30-18:30.
Confirmation Programme
Confirmation is a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The next Confirmation will take place in 2022. Young people who wish to consider confirmation will be invited to a retreat day in the autumn which will help them to understand the meaning of the Sacrament. Preparation for Confirmation will begin in the New Year, 2022. You are welcome to register your interest at any time by sending us an email.
First Holy Communion Programme
In the Eucharist, we experience the privileged encounter of receiving Jesus Christ.
For details about our Holy Communion Programme, please contact us. Please check the newsletter regularly for updates. The programme for 2021 has now begun and registration is closed.
Reconciliation (Confession)
Through Reconciliation, Jesus sets us free from our sins through the power of forgiveness.
Anointing of the Sick
The anointing of the sick brings spiritual and physical strength to the ill and dying.
The Anointing of the Sick can be administered at church, in hospital or at home. If you or one of your loved ones is seriously ill, please contact us about receiving this sacrament and a priest will respond quickly to your request.
If you or a member of your family is in hospital and you would like them to receive Holy Communion and the Anointing of the Sick, please let us know. If you or a member of your family have become housebound, and would like to receive Holy Communion at home on a regular basis, please let us know.
In the event of any emergencies, please call at any time.
Marriage
In marriage, a man and a woman become one flesh and belong to one another.
Couples wishing to arrange their Marriage, must allow 6 months notice for the celebration of the Sacrament. This is on order to undertake Marriage Preparation, make service arrangements, and to administer all civil requirements, as required by the Registrar's Office.

If you feel called to the diaconate or priestly life, see our vocations website or contact one of the priests.
