Confirmation
There is currently no Confirmation programme in this parish.
First Holy Communion
Applications are invited from families who are registered in this parish, and who have been attending St Philip’s Church for at least three months, for children who are in Year 3 or above at school, to join our First Holy Communion programme for the coming year. Application forms may be collected from the back of the church. Children who were not baptised at St Philip’s will also require a Baptism certificate.
Baptism
Baptisms are arranged by appointment. Parents are required to attend a preparation session before a date is arranged for their child’s Baptism. Dates of future sessions will be announced in the weekly newsletter. A blue Baptism Application form, available at the back of the church, should be completed and returned before attending a preparation session.
Reconciliation
There is the opportunity for Confession on Saturday mornings. They are held in the Weekday Chapel, next to the side entrance of the church. Please remain in the church while waiting.
Marriage
Weddings are arranged by appointment. Six months’ notice is required. Contact the Parish Priest for more information.
Funerals
Arranging a funeral will require the services of a Funeral Director, but the priest will help with planning the funeral liturgy. You can find guidance on choosing what to include in the liturgy on the Diocesan website.
