Working in Partnership with Parents

We work with you to prepare your child for the Sacrament.  Parents’ meetings will be held on Zoom and will help support your preparation of your child.  Full attendance is required.  We hope that your experience on the programme will enrich the faith life of your whole family.

Mass Attendance

Please remember weekly mass attendance is a requirement of the programme.  If it is not possible for your family then your child will need to defer to another year; it is an essential part of the preparation. Please ensure you make yourself known to Michaela or another Catechist to have your mass card signed.  If you are occasionally attending another parish, please ask the parish priest to sign for you. If you are participating in this programme, it is expected that you will attend mass with our community we will be giving out the weekly homework in the masses, as has been the custom in past years.

Safeguarding

All adults working with your children will have recent DBS checks in line with the Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Service (CSAS – www.csas.uk.net) advice.  Our parish Safeguarding representative is Bernie Dando and she can be contacted via the parish office.
