Hello from Father Michael, Deacon Vince, Sister Kathleen, Danielle and the Parish Office

 

Forgiven, Fed and Fearless! Welcome to our Parish Sacramental Programmes for 2024

All three Sacramental Programmes were launched last week. Families at St John Vianney School, St Jude School and the School of Religion have been invited to register for their Sacraments, and we've already received our first registrations. Invitations for families at St Edmund's and Marist will go out shortly.

First Reconciliation is available to baptised Catholic children who will be in Year 3 or up in 2024.

First Eucharist is available to baptised Catholic children who have received First Reconciliation and will be in Year 4 or up in 2024. 

Confirmation is available to baptised Catholic children who have receive First Reconciliation and First Eucharist and will be in Year 6 or up in 2024.

To register, start at the appropriate Sacramental tab on this page. Registration uses the Qkr! App by Mastercard. 

If you have a family member who's eligible for their Sacrament, or you have friends with an eligible child, please let them know that registration is open. Be a messenger and carry the news!

I invite you to spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in the Adoration Chapel on Saturday or Sunday, 30 September or 1 October. The chapel is our special way to come before Our Lord and worship Him. Be with Him as He is always with us!
