Confirmation Programme 2026
Enrolment and Commitment Forms
Confirmation is a joyful and serious step - it celebrates the decision to continue to be a Disciple of Jesus, and to become a full adult member of God’s family.
Below are two forms that need to be completed, signed and returned to the Parish together with the Candidate's baptismal certificate before 30th November 2025.
18th October
World Mission Day
Dear Friends,
This weekend we celebrate World Mission Sunday (& Saturday). It is a reminder to us NOT to be insular or attending the mass out of obligation. We are all called to accompany each other along the road of life with all its twists and turns.
It presents us with a good opportunity to reflect on ‘how am I the bringer of GOOD NEWS to family, friends, work colleagues and in a general way the stranger – maybe a neighbour or a work colleague etc. etc.’.DO NOT say there will be another day or many of them. True, there will, but the only one that matters is NOW. Christ’s call that we should love one another perfectly fits this great day.
In our Diocese of Arundel & Brighton, the feast of St Philip Howard falls each year on October 19th. So, we will pray that our patron saint will enable us to live by Gospel values 365 days a year.
“St Philip Howard pray for us.”
Please sign up ASAP for the Confirmation programme. Do not let your children down. If the parish community or I can help you in any way please do not be afraid to ask. Fr. John
God Bless you all.
Fr John

Choosing the right school is a significant decision for every family. At Salesian College, we understand how important it is to get a real sense of the education we offer — to see our students in action and to imagine your child thriving in our environment. You’ll hear directly from the headmaster, senior staff, and students, take a guided tour of the College, and explore a variety of activities across different departments. It’s a chance for the whole family to familiarise yourselves with our community and ethos. We also invite you to join us in the Refectory for refreshments and a conversation with our Admissions Team, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
