Sacraments

The Sacraments of Initiation are completed as children celebrate Confirmation and First Communion. The children will also be prepared for Reconciliation. Typically children are aged 8-11 years but some families discern their child is ready at 7, while other children are not ready until 12 years of age. The process of joining the Sacrament Programme begins with the parent information evening where details of the programme are described and questions are answered. The involvement of parents and families in preparing the children is an integral part of our approach.

People who are wanting to have the funeral of a loved one at either St Paul’s (the Monastery) or St Raphael’s Churches are more than welcome to do so.
