OLM – Rite of Enrolment 25th and 26th November 2017

There will be a short Rite of Enrolment during all masses on the weekend of 25th  and 26th 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 25th April 2018.
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.
A letter will be sent home so that it can be counter signed by parents/carers. They will present this letter to Fr. Stephen at the Mass.
Reminder of Mass times in St. Joseph’s Church –
Saturday Vigil 6pm, Sunday Masses 10am, 12pm and 6pm.
