Sacraments and pastoral care

Parents are asked to attend a short course of preparation for the baptism of a baby, held three times a year on Wednesday evenings. Adults who wish to be baptised or received into the church are invited to speak to one of the priests.

The parish aims to continue to develop the confirmation programme. The parish aims to engage parents in the life and message of the church through the baptism, confirmation and First Holy Communion programmes.

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in an open, informal, friendly environment. A wedding may take place at any time of year, and the couple is normally expected to give at least six months' notice and to follow a preparation course.

Visiting

Visitors can park in the car park or on the road in front of the church. Visitors are greeted by 'welcomers' at Sunday morning masses. Visitors can sit in any of the benches and find leaflets with the words of the mass and hymn books.
