First Holy Communion
Registration for the First Holy Communion Programme took place on Monday 23rd February 2026 at 5.00pm in Holy Family Church.
The first session was on Monday 2nd March at Holy Family Church at 5pm.
The date of your child’s baptism and full address of the Church where they were baptised will be required for registration.
The celebration is on Saturday 9th May at 10.30.
BAPTISM at Holy Family
Baptism preparation takes place once a month by appointment. If you would like your child to be baptised at Holy Family, a Baptismal Request Form can be obtained from church, or from the Parish Office, for completion as a first step.
Please ensure one of the names you have chosen for your child is a saint's name - there are so many wonderful saints who will then have a special care for your little one.
You may choose up to two Godparents (one of whom is a practising Catholic) and up to two witnesses, for the person being baptised, if you wish.
Baptisms may be arranged for a Saturday at 11am, or a Sunday at 12noon
The next preparatory sessions are to be confirmed.
Altar Servers
We are currently looking for new members of our team of Altar Servers. Serving on the altar is a fantastic way of giving service to God and to the parish, and also allows you to learn more about the Mass and other liturgies. New servers are welcome on all Masses, although we are particularly keen to recruit new servers for the 9:30am Mass.
If you or a member of your family is interested, please contact the Parish Office or speak to Fr Kevin, Athena or Noel.

NEW TO ZOOM?
We use a video conferencing program called ZOOM which is available for PCs, Macs, tablets and smart phones.
If you feel you would like to try this you will need to download and install the software. ZOOM is available as a free account, so please don't sign up to any payment version.
It all sounds rather intimidating for the novice but please, please give it a try if you would like to join in. Getting the best out of this technology just takes a bit of courage and a willingness to learn. We were all first timers once!
We'll try and help you as much as we can, and we think that after a couple of goes you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about!! It would be great to see you and have a chat...
Once installed click on 'Join a meeting' and enter the ID number and the passcode.
In order to receive the ID number and passcode please email Holy Family parish and you will be given the details required.
Please do not share these details but ask people to email for their own, due to newly increased security settings from ZOOM, and so we can keep in contact.
