Leave a comment

Thursday 28th April at 7pm in Our Lady’s and St Bride’s Parish Church.

We are delighted that we are able to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with Arch Bishop Cushley.

Here are the final points

  • School uniform should be worn.
  • Pupils should arrive for 6.50pm
  • The sponsor should be over 16, Catholic, not a parent and preferably their Godparent.
  • Each family will be issued a pew, the confirmandi should sit with their sponsor on the inside to the middle aisle. Additional seating will be available at the back of the church.
  • The children will approach the alter with their sponsor one at a time.
  • The children will be given a badge with their saint name on it.
  • We will let the children know when it is time for them to go up.
  • No photos during mass please. There will be an opportunity for the children to get a photo at the end of the Mass on the altar.
  • No masks are required but may be worn.

We look forward to sharing this special occasion with our children and families.

Bereavement and Loss – Information for Young people

Sadly, some children and families will experience bereavement during the Covid19 pandemic, either directly related to Covid19 or due to an unrelated cause.

We are being asked to support reducing the spread of coronavirus through social distancing and this has an impact on how children may access their support networks and on some of the usual processes for saying goodbye. The pandemic may also make children and young people feel more anxious about their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of those close to them. Below are some resources that may help:
