Baptisms
Baptism welcomes people into the church. For infants it involves a short
preparation course for the parents, followed by baptism usually on a
Saturday or during Sunday Mass at one of the parish churches. For
children or adults seeking baptism or reception into the Church in our
parish, please contact either Ann Moran or the parish office.
First Holy Communion

first holy communion who are in Year 3 (7 years or older), leading to the
celebration usually in May or June of the following year. Registration of
children is normally required by the end of August. Please contact the
parish office.

Advent and Lent, the sacrament is available after weekday morning
Masses and special services of reconciliation are held on specific times in
