Sacraments
Baptism
The first sacrament, washing us into the life of Christ and welcoming a new member into the Church family. We baptise infants and adults; speak to us to begin.
Sacraments
Reconciliation
The sacrament of God's mercy, where sins are confessed and forgiven. Confession is heard each week, and by appointment whenever you need it.
Sacraments
First Holy Communion
Children prepare to receive the Eucharist for the first time, usually in Year 3. Our preparation programme runs through the year alongside the parish school.
Sacraments
Confirmation
The sealing of baptism with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Young people and adults are prepared together before the bishop confirms them.
Sacraments
Marriage
Two people are joined before God as a sign of Christ's love for the Church. Please contact the parish at least six months before your intended date.
Sacraments
Holy Orders
Men are ordained as deacons, priests, and bishops to serve the people of God. If you feel called, our clergy will walk with you and point you to the diocese.
Sacraments
Anointing of the Sick
The Church's prayer for healing and strength in serious illness or old age. Call the parish at any time; we will come to a home or hospital.
On the sacraments
The sacraments are the architecture of Catholic life. Moments where grace meets the body.
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1084
Through Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick, God's grace is given to us in ways we can see and touch and receive together.
