Baptism
Baptism, one of the sacraments of initiation, cleanses us of original sin, grants divine grace, and makes us members of Christ’s Church.
Parents promise to raise their child in the faith by attending Mass, praying together, and teaching Catholic doctrines.
If this is your first baptism, a preparation course is required. Complete our Baptism Enquiry Form for next steps or contact us at kingstonhill@rcaos.org.uk for any questions.

Sacrament of
Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation deepens baptismal grace, completing Catholic initiation and empowering individuals to witness as Christ’s disciples.
At St. Ann’s, young people in Year 9 or above are invited to join our formation programme.
Confirmation is typically conferred during a special Mass on Pentecost Sunday.
Sacrament of
First Holy Communion
The Eucharist,”the source and summit of the Christian life,” contains the whole spiritual good of the Church—Christ Himself.
As the third sacrament of initiation, the Eucharist can be received regularly, deepening our relationship with Christ.
Children in Year Three or over eight years old can apply for the First Holy Communion course. The course concludes with the First Holy Communion Mass around the feast of Corpus Christi.
Sacrament of
Marriage
Marriage acknowledges a couple’s commitment to share their life together and reflect God’s love through their union.
Those wishing to marry should give six months’ notice and attend a preparation course.
