What's On Apr08

What was on in April 2008?

First Communion Classes

For children at non-Catholic Schools (year 3 children). These classes are held from the end of the 10am Mass, until about 11.30am. The contact is Miriam Travers.

Confirmation Classes

No class on 5th May

Young people in years 8 and 9 please note (in the Social Centre 6.45-7.45pm). Please pray for our 50 young people who are preparing thoroughly and imaginatively for their confirmation. They are a credit to their families and our parish. The Archbishop will confirm them at Mass in St James' at 7.30pm on Thursday 15th May.

Baptism certificates of candidates not baptised in St James' are required by Fr Bryan – a few are still awaited. All candidates must choose a confirmation name (usually but not always a saints name). Each young person needs a sponsor to be with them at the confirmation Mass (this needs to be a practising Catholic who will encourage their confirmee in the faith).
