Confirmation 2025
At Baptism, we begin a life-long journey and a way of life. At Confirmation, the graces received in Baptism are sealed with the reception of the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
All Young adults are invited to ‘come and see’ where things might lead - the end is not compulsory or guaranteed.
If you want to discern with others if receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation is what God is calling you to, then please get in touch.

GREETINGS FROM THE PARISH PRIEST
Peace be with you!
New to the area or lived around here for ages? Either way you are welcome!
Our vision is to be a parish where we follow Jesus, who are on fire with his love, share his love with each other and the world.
Many of us can relate to this vision, but we can always be more.
Through our parish I hope you can take your next step in following Jesus. Every week there are plenty of things going on to help you deepen in relationship with God, and to then put your faith into action.
This website lists everything that goes on in the parish, and you are invited to it all.
