Our Candidates - Preparing for the Sacraments

Webmaster • April 27, 2024

As I mentioned at the end of last Sunday’s morning mass, we have much to thank the Lord for in those among us who are preparing to celebrate the sacraments among us. They are signs of the Lord’s love for our community. Therefore, please pray for them:

For the Sacraments of Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion.

Currently, we have Kyan a local student who has been among us for well over a year and he has begun undertaking catechetical formation in preparation for the Sacraments of Christian Initiation.

To be Received into Full Communion with the Catholic Church.

We have Luke. Luke has been among us now for about a year and is nearing readiness to be received into Full Communion. He will be celebrating the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and participate in Holy Communion for the first time among us, on Pentecost Sunday. He will join the likes of Lori who was received during the Easter Vigil.

The Sacrament of Confirmation

Over the past 6 months or so our young men Emils and Matiss, have been preparing for Confirmation and are now ready. It is hoped that Emils and Matiss will celebrate the Sacrament with Bishop Mark in Llanelli on Saturday 1st June at 11.00 am.

First Holy Communion

Among our younger parishioners we have Dominik, Denzel and Rocco who will be joined by Leonard, Lilly, and Illia in celebrating their First Holy Communion. This special celebration will be on the Feast of Corpus Christi – The Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ – Sunday 2nd June at the 10.00 am mass.

The Sacrament of Marriage

Although late in the day we congratulate Mary Chidimma who on 6th April married her fiancé Arinze back home in her native Nigeria. Looking ahead in September Lori and Robert will celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony among us.

We are in need of a volunteer to co-ordinate the parish hall bookings. This entails speaking to potential users of the hall, arranging for the contract to be completed prior to signing by the parish priest and arranging for the hall to be opened and closed before and after use. This is not a time consuming role but vital in terms of parish income. The volunteer will be required from the beginning of September 25. If you are interested speak to Stephen
