Sacrament of Confirmation
Congratulations to the newly confirmed members of the Catholic Church.
May you continue to let the Holy Spirit be an important part of your life just as it has been over the past months as you prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Remember to unwrap the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and use them in your daily actions.
Halloween - 31st October
Halloween, celebrated on 31 October, has its roots in the early Christian tradition of
All Hallows’ Eve — the evening before All Saints’ Day on 1 November.
Over time, the name All Hallows’ Eve became Halloween. Today, many families enjoy Halloween through dressing up, carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating.
All Saints' Day - 1st November
All Saints’ Day is a special day in the Catholic Church when we remember and celebrate all the saints, both well-known and those whose names we may never know. Saints are people who have shown great love for God and others through their words and actions. Their lives inspire us to follow Jesus’ example by being kind, compassionate, forgiving and generous. All Saints’ Day reminds us that we are all called to live holy lives and share God’s love with others in our everyday actions.
All Souls' Day - 2nd November
All Souls’ Day is a time for us to remember and pray for all those who have died, especially our family members, friends and loved ones who are no longer with us. As Catholics, we remember them with love and place our hope in God’s promise of eternal life. It is a special opportunity to give thanks for the people who have touched our lives and to keep their memories alive in our hearts and prayers.

For the proper use of wealth
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service the common good and solidarity of those who have less.
