Please Note: For 2026 our Class days and times will be changing and will no longer be held on a Sunday. 

This is due to our commitment to ensure that we prioritize the Safety and Security of our Parish Community.

By Considering a different day for catechism, we can offer a more peaceful, structured, and secure environment for faith formation – one where children can learn, and families can participate, without unnecessary risk or concern.

We remain committed to creating a safe space where our parish can grow in faith and fellowship. 

Junior Catechetics classes : Two options are available for 2026 onwards – Saturday afternoon 3.45pm to 4.45pm or Wednesday afternoon 5pm to 6pm.
