Confirmation
Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

Anointing of the Sick
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
James 5:14
Sacramental Preparation
Preparation of children for their First Reconciliation will be held in the First Term 2018
The programme to prepare candidates for the Initiation Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion will begin in the first week of Term Two.
Details of 2018 dates and session times: Download Schedule. Download Enrolment Form.
Eligibility for enrolment in the programme:
Children who are at Year 4 or above and have been Baptised in the Catholic Church. It is expected that candidates for these sacraments will have been receiving instruction in the Catholic faith previous to their enrolment in the programme. The sacramental preparation programme supplements a child’s education in the faith, but it can not replace or supplant the on-going instruction which ought to be occurring in the home, school and parish environments.
