Candidates for sacraments will be contacted 4 weeks before each sacrament to order stoles so that there is time for these to be made. 

HOLY BEGINNINGS can be contacted directly if you wish to order your stole independently. 

Children who are making Reconciliation in May will need to organise their stoles now. Please return the order form and payment to school or Parish house by the 4th May. No late orders will be organised by the parish. You will need to do this independently if you miss the date.
