Certificates of Catholic Practice can be downloaded from this link here. Once you have completed it and the accompanying request form, downloaded from this link, please sign up on the form at Ss Mary & Joseph Church for a time slot to meet with Fr David in the Parish Centre, Boxmoor to have your form signed.
Please keep an eye on the parish newsletter for when the sign-up form will be available at Ss Mary & Joseph Church and any information you will need to obtain the CCP.
VERY IMPORTANT: There is one simple criterion for the issue of a CCP and it relates to Catholic practice. Catholic practice equates to weekly attendance at Sunday Mass. This is a fair and good test and means there is a level playing field for every applicant. Therefore, certificates will only be issued to practising Catholics, that is, families who are known to the Parish Priest and regularly attend weekly Sunday Mass. Occasional absence for sickness or other emergencies, such as extreme bad weather etc are understandable and acceptable, however prolonged absence that has not been notified to our parish priest in advance of a request, means that it is unlikely that he will issue a CCP.
Please ensure that you make your application and it is received in good time to meet the schools and church deadlines as we cannot be responsible for any late applications.
If you are relatively new to the parish and despite making yourself known to our Parish Priest, then you will need to apply to the parish priest of your previous parish. The same criterion will apply, as the policy comes from the bishops of England and Wales and applies in all parish churches in those countries.
