Confirmation Programme 2026
Enrolment and Commitment Forms
Confirmation is a joyful and serious step - it celebrates the decision to continue to be a Disciple of Jesus, and to become a full adult member of God’s family.
Below are two forms that need to be completed, signed and returned to the Parish together with the Candidate's baptismal certificate before 30th November 2025.
10th October
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Friends,
Church Maintenance Morning – Volunteers Needed
On Saturday 18th October from 9am until noon, we are appealing for parishioners’ help to dismantle and remove the shed in Fr John’s garden, which is due for a replacement soon. We also need to repair and make safe the slab path for Fr John to the Church. Plus, we will need a team to carry out leaf clearing, cleaning the car park and placing composted leaf mulch to planting beds, there is a small conifer to clear overhanging the garage and repair a gutter, so quite a list of tasks to get through that morning and we need all the help we can get! Many thanks from the parish finance committee.
OLQH Grandparents and Friends
OLQH Grandparents & Friends meeting is a week early this month on Wednesday 22nd October to avoid clashing with half-term. We will meet in the hall after 10:00 Mass as usual. All are welcome!
