First Week of Our Silver Jubilee, Cleansing and Reconciliation.

All this week of our Silver Jubilee we are focusing on the cleansing that baptism and reconciliation/confession brings.

There have been 1914 baptisms since the church opened in June 1983. Please give us good notice if you wish to book a baptism. If you call into the office on Monday's, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30 to 1:00, or after any of the Masses, you can pick up a booking form which you return to us. Remember to book us before you arrange the party and guests! Our Baptism Team will visit before the baptism to help you prepare in a gentle and informal way and answer any questions you might have. We are not looking for picture postcard Catholics, but we do ask you at least be open to the faith and to its practice. It's very sad to present your child for baptism if you have no intention of engaging with the church or just keeping parents, grandparents or whoever happy or for some vague unconnected cultural/ historical rite of passage.


Confessions are heard every Saturday from 6:30 to 7:30. Why not come and experience the healing of God's forgiveness in this beautiful sacrament?
