If you have applied you must have received your First Holy Communion and must attend all five sessions starting on Saturday 9th November at 3pm. Sessions continue Saturdays 16th November, 23rd November, 30th November and Saturday 14th December. ALL new altar servers MUST serve at the 5.30pm Mass this day. The training continues under the guidance of our Chief MC James Bush and with the excellent support of his mother Bernadette Bush. We look forward to welcoming our new altar servers to the Sanctuary. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve our parish community and grow in faith.
