Please click here to read a letter from Fr Simon and Miss Collins, headteacher of St Robert's School, outlining information for parents who are considering signing their children up for First Sacraments in St Robert's parish.

Congratulations to the children who made their First Holy Communion throughout June.  It was good to celebrate with them at the plenary mass, when all the children came together to be presented to the parish and receive their certificates on Sunday 6th July.

For children to make their First Holy Communion in 2026 they must have made the Sacrament of Reconciliation in 2025 or earlier. Parents, do remember the key responsibility you have to bring your children up in the faith, ensuring they are part of the worshipping Sunday community before you apply for their first sacraments.

Confirmation 2025

Many congratulations to our children who received the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday 4th February 2025 from Bishop Marcus. We wish them every blessing on this milestone in their spiritual journey.

Many thanks to all our catechists for the time and dedication they give to the First Sacraments and Confirmation programmes.

The dates for 2026 First Sacraments will be announced in due course via the bulletin.
