SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION

Baptism Preparation Courses - Baptism preparation helps parents to enrich their understanding of the meaning and importance of the sacrament of Baptism in the life of their child and to prepare for the day that their child will be baptised. Parents wishing to present their child for Baptism are requested to attend a course, preferably before the birth of their baby, so that both father and mother are able to attend. If you live and worship in the parish of All Saints, Kenton and would like to attend one of our Baptism preparation courses (which run every 2-3 months), please contact the parish office. Thank you.

Sunday School - every Sunday at 11.00am in the parish centre during the school year (Sept - July). It is aimed at children of primary school age following the Diocesan Catholic programme 'Walk With Me'. We welcome children attending non-Catholic schools and help them to learn about topics that will help them in their Catholic faith journey and prepare them for receiving the sacraments. The groups are fun with story telling, art, teaching through play, interactive conversation and singing. The classes last approx one hour and are held in the parish centre, Shrewsbury Ave (opposite the church) on Sundays at 11am.
Please contact the parish office if you are interested in registering your child.
