Baptism
The sacrament of Baptism is usually celebrated during a Sunday Mass or at 2.00pm on the first Saturday of the month, following an initial meeting with Fr Alan and a three-week course of preparation. Further details are available from the Parish secretary.

First Confession and First Communion
If your child is in Year 3 or above, and comes to Mass with you in this parish, he or she is eligible to join our programme of preparation, which runs from October to April each year. The First Communion Masses take place in May.

Confirmation
This is usually conferred at or around Pentecost, on those who are 14 years old or above, following a course of instruction beginning in January.

Marriage
In accordance with the norms required by canon law, six months notice must be given - whether the marriage is to take place here or abroad - in order to enable the required preparation to take place.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
This is the normal form of preparation for those who are Christians of other traditions or those who are non-Christians to enter the Catholic Church. The meetings take place in the Parish House at 11.00am on Saturday mornings. If you think you may be interested, further details can be obtained from Fr Alan. (This would also be appropriate preparation for adults wishing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation.) All are welcome!
