Catechetics

 

 
Children's Liturgy

A special Liturgy of the Word is held in the sacristy during Sunday morning mass for children who have not yet made their first communion. Children who come to this should be old enough to attend unaccompanied so that parents may assist at mass in the church.

 


First Communion

A special mass at which children of the parish make their First Holy Communion is held each year. Candidates are enrolled during the Sunday morning mass earlier in the year and preparation takes place after mass on the succeeding Sundays. Parents with a child in Year 3 should see Fr Carroll.

 


Confirmation

The sacrament of confirmation is administered each year in one of the churches in the deanery or in the Cathedral, and classes are held in the parish to prepare candidates. Candidates for confirmation should be in at least Year 9 in school. Please see Fr Carroll for details.
