The children are prepared by experienced Parish Catechists. Please let Fr. Chris know if you have children ready for preparation.

Sacraments for the sick

If you or a member of your family is ill and housebound for any length of time and would like Holy Communion
or the Sacrament for the Sick at home, please contact Fr. Chris.

In the case of hospitals, Data Protection Regulations prevent the hospital authorities letting chaplains know that
members of their denomination are in hospital. It is for the patient or their family to ask the ward staff to ask
the chaplain or one of his team to call.
