Journey In Faith
Do you feel God’s gentle call to become Catholic? Or have you been away from Church life and want to return, finding out more about your faith? Would you like to deepen your knowledge of the Catholic Faith? If any of these questions apply to your situation then the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is for you! Running from October until Easter, the RCIA programme helps to form intentional disciples for Christ and prepare candidates for the sacraments of initiation into the Church, as well as helping anyone who would like a refresher of Catholic teaching.
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact the parish office.

First Holy Communion Programme Registration Forms
The important thing we all need to learn as disciples is that Jesus calls us into a deep, loving friendship with him and that Holy Communion is something that helps that friendship grow. After a time of prayer and discernment, of accompanying our children in this parish and in others, and after speaking with our catechists, it has become apparent that our children would be better able to participate in this important time in their lives if we wait a year, making the time of formation year 4 (ages 8/9).
Registration forms for First Holy Communion are now available with a closing date of
30 September 2025 for children in year 4 and above (minimum age 8). Please take a form and return it to the parish office by this date. There will be a meeting for parents in November, and the formation sessions will start in Advent. Please be ready to provide a copy of your child’s baptism certificate with your form.
We are looking forward to the programme this year and to helping guide our young people in their relationship with the Lord. As a preparation over the coming months, you may wish to start to speak with your children about Jesus’s presence in the Eucharist and begin to share your own stories and memories of your First Holy Communion. You could also speak with them about what the Eucharist means to you today.
If you have any questions, then please contact Fr. Adrian.
