Sacraments
There are seven Sacraments in the Catholic Church. Throughout the year, we run programmes for BAPTISM, FIRST CONFESSION, FIRST HOLY COMMUNION, CONFIRMATION and MARRAIGE.
Fr Kevin also ministers the sacrament of the SICK and counsels those who feel called to HOLY ORDERS (priesthood).
If you are interested in becoming Catholic, or having your child baptised into the Catholic faith, please speak to Fr. Kevin.
Currently we are accepting registrations for the Confirmation programme due to start soon.
