Our Catholic Identity
Baptism
The church recognises various times from our birth to our death in which we experience the love, support and strength of Jesus at work in our lives. Starting with our Baptism when we are welcomed into the faith community to receive the gift of God's unconditional love. Through a programme of preparation we hope to increase your understanding of what the church means when speaking of parents as the first teachers of their child in the ways of faith.
First Holy Communion
The initiation of children into church life is primarily the responsibility of Catholic parents. Our hope is that parents will form and gradually increase within their children a spirit of faith, and with the help of the school and our parish community to prepare them for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist
Becoming a Catholic
You may feel that that the time is right to develop your own spirituality or you may feel that there could be more you could learn and experience. We welcome you and would like to do all that we can to answer some of the questions that you might have about the Catholic Church and how you could find a place in the community of the Church.
Sacraments
Key moments in the lives of Catholic people are celebrated within the community of the Church. Sacraments are the sacred events and actions that allow us to see and experience the Spirit of Jesus at work in our lives, to nourish and strengthen us and call us to nourish each other across our local and global family.
