JOSEPH’S CHURCH
There will be a short Rite of Enrolment during all masses on the weekend of 19th and 20th November in St. Joseph’s Church. This is for all children who will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in St. Mirin’s Cathedral on 26th April 2017.
Parents should bring their child to any Mass and ideally sponsors should attend, if they live locally. Sponsors should be over the age of 16 and a practising Catholic. Father will address the parents, sponsors, children and then the parish community asking that we all work together to support the children in their preparation to receive the Holy Spirit.
Children should wear their own clothes, NOT school uniform.
The children will be writing a letter to Bishop John, asking to receive the Sacrament. They will outline the reasons why they have chosen their saint’s name as an inspiration in their daily lives.
We will send the letter home so that it can be counter signed by parents/carers. They will present this letter to Fr. Jim at the Mass.
Reminder of Mass times in St. Joseph’s Church – Vigil 6pm, 10am 12pm and 6pm
