Parents/Carers are asked to attend a gathering where an overview of the programme will be given, materials will be distributed and everyone will have an opportunity to discuss sacramental preparation. 

Each sacramental programme will have its own gathering for parents. 

As in previous years, some sessions will be “in person” at church and some sessions completed at home.  The “in person” sessions will run on Saturdays in the Parish Hall, starting at 5.45pm and finish at 6.20pm when the group will join Mass at the Offertory.  Parents/Carers come to the start of the session with their child and then go into Mass for 6pm.

With consent, parents/carers and catechists mobile phone numbers are added to a sacrament whatsapp group which is solely used to communicate information about the sacramental preparation. 

REGISTRATION

Registration for each sacrament is online.  Please use the link (to follow shortly) to complete the form.  If your child was baptised elsewhere, please upload a photo of the baptismal certificate, as the parish office needs a copy.

Parents/Carers do not have to be Catholic but following Baptismal promises made, they should be committed to and supportive of the sacramental preparation of their child.   In the case of Confirmation, a sponsor is needed and this person must be a practising catholic, perhaps a Godparent, relative or friend.
