Welcome to our Children's Liturgy Group. Children's Liturgy is not however Sacramental preparation but it is held every Sunday morning at the 10:30am Holy Mass during term-time, for the younger children of the parish.
Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated by the Bishop in the Parish every few years and the preparation for the Sacrament normally about 12 weeks. Young people wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation must be sufficiently mature to undertake the commitment required for this Sacrament.

Sacramental Preparation
Sacraments are God's great gifts to the Church and if great importance in the life of the individual and the parish. They are never lightly undertaken and the Parish clergy, in liaison with the Catechists should normally be approached for preparation for sacraments.
A Sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is given to us. Full and active participation in the sacramental life of the Church requires a period of preparation of both mind and heart to be receptive to the grace of new life in Christ.
Please contact the Parish Priest for further information.
