Catechist
for 1^st Holy Communion

The Catechist's role is to help prepare children for their 1^st Holy Communion Service.

It involves liaising between the priest, families and schools and working with a group of children, usually on Sunday mornings before Mass,  from the New Year until the 1st Holy Communion Service.

If you would like to become involved in this ministry,
then please contact Fr Tom
