Sacramental Preparation

ADHOC AND REGULAR CLASSES

We hold Baptism courses upon request. First Holy Communion classes runs from September to early June. Teenage Confirmation runs from September to December. Adult Confirmation preparation is available upon request. We hold a face-to-face Marriage Preparation course in May that is run by married couples from the parish. Please contact: hampstead@rcdow.org.uk for more information. We tend to be heavily oversubscribed particularly for Confirmation so please note that parishioners are given priority.

BAPTISM CLASS

THE BAPTISM CLASS IS INTENDED FOR NEW PARENTS AND TAKES AROUND AN HOUR. IT IS NICE WHERE POSSIBLE FOR US TO HAVE A TWO OR MORE FAMILIES AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT PEOPLE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND CAN SHARE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS.

First Holy Communion 
Our classes started on 24th September. WE PREPARE THE CHILDREN FOR THEIR FIRST RECONCILIATION WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE in january and FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE ON 9thJUNE 2023. CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE BEEN BAPTISED TO RECEIVE THESE SACRAMENTS and so we ask for proof of baptism.

Teenage Confirmation

Classes run from September to December. The Confirmation Mass for the latest candidates is on 10th December 2022 at 16h00.
