Sacramental Programme
 

With You Always
Jesus gave us an example of how to live. He faced the problems we face  and he promised he would be with us to help us. He showed love to many people, healing them and supporting them. You need to talk to your child about how they can show love.
Your child will fill in the heart to heart picture.
 
Church Treasure Hunt
You need to find time to help your child walk around church and find the items listed and talk about them. The Catechist will show them the Holy Oils
The signs on the Easter Candle are Greek, alpha and omega, meaning from the beginning to the end.

Normal Masses each weekend are:
Saturday 5pm  in St Marys
Sunday 9am    in St Richards
Sunday 11am  in St Francis

Please see the Letter and Form for more details.
Sacraments of Reconciliation & First Holy Communion will take place in May 2025. Dates will be announced at the monthly sessions.
