Child Protection

The Parish has two Child Protection Co-ordinators who continually assess all the activities of the Parish to ensure that they meet the best practice of Child Protection. Our team also organise Criminal Records Checks and personal references for all adults seeking to work with children or vulnerable adults in the parish.

Communion to the Sick

Catholics who are housebound due to serious illness or the frailty of old age should receive Holy Communion every week. A team of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion provide this service. Please contact the Parish Priest if you know of someone who is housebound.

Hospital Admission

If you know of a Catholic admitted to Hospital please inform the Parish Priest and ask the staff to contact the Hospital's Catholic Chaplain. Catholic Priests are restricted by information legislation (the Data Protection Act) and so have no way of knowing who the Catholics are in hospital unless someone informs them.

If you are in hospital, you are entitled to Spiritual Care, but you will only get it if you request it from the staff. Please do not leave your requests to the last minute!
