Specific Events

St Walstan’s Lectio Divina Prayer Session: Our next sessions are 7pm in the Garden room on Thursday 6th August, then continuing fortnightly.

Journey in Faith: If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, perhaps with a view to becoming a Catholic, please come along to the introductory session of the Journey in Faith on Thursday September 24th, 7.00pm, in the Presbytery (behind the church). Further details are available from Fr David.

Adult Confirmations: If you were not confirmed in your teens and would like to prepare for this sacrament, please come along to the introductory session of the Journey in Faith on Thursday September 24th, 7.00pm, in the Presbytery (behind the church). The same topics are covered on both courses so it makes sense for them to be run together. Further details are available from Fr David.

Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion 2027: We are welcoming applications from those who wish their child to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2027. If your child will be in year 3 or above, in September 2026, and you wish them to be included, please contact Julia Murphy via email:  Boot2982@outlook.com  for an application form. The programme will start in January 2027. The closing date for applications is Sunday 27 September 2026. Thank you.

Confirmations 2027: Registration is now open for next year’s Confirmations. As usual, the youngsters will join with others at St John’s Cathedral for the classes, which begin in September of this year, but will be confirmed here in their home parish at Costessey. Please note that the closing date for application is a firm one so don’t delay to apply! For details please follow this link: Registration Form 2026-27 – FHC and Confirmation Programme SJB Cathedral
