Parish News and Announcements  

We will be soon launching our programme preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. If you are interested in learning more about this programme or signing up to receive the Sacrament please let Sarah & Ciaran know by email to  sacramentofconfirmation2025@gmail.com 


Those in Year 8 and older are welcome to receive the sacrament in May this year. The programme consists of 6 preparation sessions where we explore the Sacrament and a wonderful retreat. 



 

Our Youth group had a wonderful session this evening decorating advent candles, an advent calendar and sharing delicious roast turkey!! Thank you to all who came and helped!



 

We are meeting this Saturday (22nd) after the Vigil Mass and will be making some Christmas decorations.
