Sacrament of the Sick, and Holy Communion. Please inform him . Communion can
be taken to the housebound more regularly by Communion Ministers who have
been delegated by the Priest. In case of admission to Hospital please inform
the Chaplain.
EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF COMMUNION
Between Sacred Heart and Christ the King there are over 50 trained ministers
of Communion who assist in the distribution of Communion at Mass. They are
commissioned on Holy Thursday.
BAPTISMS
The celebration of Baptism will normally take place on the third or fourth
Sunday of the month in one or other of the churches.
“ This child is now reborn in baptism …in confirmation he (she)
will receive the fullness of God’s Spirit …in Holy Communion he
(she) will share the banquet of Christ’s sacrifice calling God his (her)
Father in the midst of the Church..” ( Rite of Baptism)
A new-born child is welcomed into the family without delay, and the welcome
into the Church should follow soon afterwards.
Contact the parish priest after Mass on Sunday to begin the arrangements.
BAPTISM
IN SACRED HEART AT 1.30p.m. : Lucy Margaret and Charlotte Cooper.
MARRIAGE
Couples intending to marry must make an appointment to see the parish priest
before making any other arrangements, and at least 6 months before the proposed
date. This allows time to follow a course of preparation and encouragement
to work with Scottish Marriage Care, Falkirk, through the FOCCUS programme.
Contact the Secretary, See parish handbook for contact details.
Adults who wish to learn more about the Catholic Faith for the first
time or to return to the Church are welcome to attend the Group Meetings on

to share the Faith in a relaxed atmosphere following a course of instruction
and prayer based on the Bible and the Catechism . New members are welcomed

“The Catholic Church is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness
and well-being of each individual person within God’s purpose for everyone.
It seeks to safeguard the
welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with the
Church and its organisations. As a Church community we accept that it is the
responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and voluntary members,
to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect
of children, young people and vulnerable adults.”
It is the responsibility of the Parish Priest to create and maintain an accurate
record of all persons serving as
children’s/young people’s/vulnerable adults’ workers; and
to ensure that they all undertake the training and
Disclosure Checks required by Law.
