Sacraments in our Parish
Confirmation and First Communion
We welcome our Confirmation Candidates and their families to our final Confirmation Enrolment Ceremony
this weekend.
As we continue our journey towards receiving the Sacraments this year, we encourage families to attend Mass each weekend and keep an eye on our Parish Newsletter for information.
Dates for Enrolment Ceremonies for children preparing for First Communion will be advised soon.
If your child was Baptised outside our Parish, please remember to include an original Baptismal Certificate with the Enrolment Form. (Please staple the Certificate with the Form). The Enrolment Form is handed to the Celebrant as part of the Enrolment Ceremony.
If you haven’t received an Enrolment Form or if yours has been misplaced, please collect one from Fr. Brendan in the Sacristy after any Mass or call into our Parish Office.
This is a very exciting time for our young parishioners, their families and our Parish.
We ask parishioners to pray for these children and all our young parishioners.
Baptism
Our next Baptism preparation meeting takes place this Tuesday, 3rd February, 2026 at 7:30 pm in St. Patrick’s Parish Centre.
If you wish to request Baptism for your child, please contact our Parish Office.
First Friday
We will return to two First Friday Masses next Friday, 6th February. Mass will take place at 10 am in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown and at 7:30 pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Stamullen. All on our Parish List of the Dead will be remembered at both Masses.
First Friday Calls
Fr. Brendan will visit homes during the week.
If you or a family member would like Fr. Brendan to call, or if you know someone who would appreciate a call, please contact our Parish Office.
If you have a family member, or know someone in hospital who would appreciate a visit from a Priest, it is very important that you contact our Parish Office and advise Hospital, Ward etc.
Due to GDPR Restrictions, we are unable to obtain this information from the Hospital.
