“I am with you always close by, ready to help. Yes, forever until the end of time…”
Humans gather in groups. In our Catholic faith, we believe that we are One Body with Christ and we belong to God the Father. We want our children to appreciate a sense of belonging to the parish community too. We want our children to  say “I belong”. As a catholic community we also believe that family and community is vital in building God’s Kingdom so our children prepare for the sacraments alongside parents and with the parish community. This is called family catechesis. Family catechesis, or preparation, is not just for children but parents too. In family catechesis, adults as well as children, work, learn and pray together. They share their faith with each other and with other families.
The preparation programme we follow is called “I belong”.

Here are the dates for the 2025/2026 preparation programme. Sessions are in school and finish at 4.30pm
