FIRST COMMUNION
If your child was baptised as an infant and they have started primary school, then they will be looking to receive their first communion as a member of the Church. Typically this is offered to children between the ages of seven and thirteen.
Communion is the receiving of bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ, during our Parish Eucharist service. We will prepare each child as they take this first step in making the faith their own. We will endeavour to contact you about taking this next step in your child’s journey in faith but you can also contact us

CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is an important milestone in making faith your own, especially if you were baptised as a child. It marks the point in the Christian journey where those who have been baptised make a firm commitment to live and work as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop, the Church asks God to fill each candidate with the power of the Holy Spirit to live the life of a disciple.

VOCATIONS
Everyone has a vocation. A vocation is what you are called by God to be and do. For some it could mean serving God through faithful discipleship in everyday life and for others it can be a calling to ministry and the religious life.
If you are exploring a vocation to ministry within All Saints Church, then please contact us as we would love to explore this further with you.
If you are specifically exploring a call to religious life in some form,
then do contact us or the vocations team at the Diocese of Oxford.
