Baptism
The Parishes of St. Aloysius & St. Aidan hold a joint pre
baptismal preparation course each month. If you wish to have your child
baptised please ask at the presbytery for an application form. If you
are not a resident of our parish but wish to have your child baptised
here please remember you must seek the written permission of your own
parish priest.
The dates of the courses are published in the parish newsletter.
Coordinator: Sister Eileen

First Confession & Holy Communion
Preparation for the reception of these sacraments is
organised through St. Aloysius Catholic Primary School. For this work
the parish is deeply indebted to Mr. Purcell and school staff. Children
are generally prepared in Year 3 and receive First Confession in
February/March and
First Holy Communion in May/June.
If your child does not currently attend St. Aloysius School and needs to
receive the sacraments early contact with the parish priest is urged.

Marriage
Marriage is also a sacrament prepared for jointly with St.
Aidan's Parish. Generally speaking there will be two separate
preparatory courses offered each year. Couples wishing to be married in
Church must first make contact with the parish priest. This contact
should always give at least six months notice before you wish to be
married. The preparatory courses are managed by married couples from St.
Aloysius and St. Aidan's Parishes.

Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults (RCIA)
Each year preparatory sessions are conducted jointly with St.
Aidan's and ourselves. The Parish Sisters are the coordinators of the
course which is designed to help those interested in becoming members of
the Catholic Church to discover more about the faith. The course is open
to any one who would like to discover more about the Church. In the past
we have also helped those, initially baptised Catholic, who were not
subsequently brought up in the practise of the faith.
If you are interested in knowing more please contact the parish priest
as soon as possible.
