Our Lady & The English Martyrs Celebrating the sacraments is at the core of our parish life. Our big moments in life are marked in a solemn way from womb to tomb.
Here we provide all the details for the celebration of the sacraments in our parish.
Baptism Arrangements
Baptism is the first sacrament. It incorporates us into the Church and through it we are ‘reborn’ as sons and daughters of God.

Holy Orders
The ongoing life of the church depends on vocations to the priesthood. Our diocese has a director of vocations and we’d be delighted to make an introduction for any interested candidates. Talk to any of the priests to get more information. The Diocesan website may also have useful information about Vocations in our diocese.
