'Taste of the World' Potluck Event

October 17, 2025

Friday the 28th November 2025, 7pm

Following our successful Bingo Night in June, many people have recently been asking about future parish social events. Although we are currently planning events for the Christmastide in December, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the rich diversity of our parish by coming together for an evening of international culinary delights!


For this even to be successful, we are asking people to volunteer in bringing either: a main dish, side dish or dessert that is special to your cultural backgrounds and ethnic origins. Sign up sheets will be available after Saturday/Sunday Masses on the table at the back of the church. Alternatively, you can contact Carl via email or in person during the week. If you are unable to bring a dish, don't worry about it. Your presence is what's most important to us!


Tickets are £5 and are on sale after Saturday/Sunday Masses. All the proceeds from the ticket and bar sales will go towards the church maintenance fund. We hope to see you there!

Come and join us on the 6th of December from 5.15pm for the upcoming Joel’s Bar evening - Immerse, here at Our Lady of Hal. This is a time for young adults to meet together, be refreshed with the Holy Spirit through worship and prayer ministry and to build community with one another. There will be Mass beforehand and then a talk from an incredible speaker, before some mulled wine and social time! All are welcome so bring a friend, and if not then just bring yourself!! We’ll be diving into the hope that we have in Jesus, who is a sure anchor for the soul, and why the message of Christmas is needed now more than ever!

RCIA Course

September 16, 2025
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS

Confirmation 2026

September 16, 2025
We hope to run a Confirmation Programme provided there are sufficient candidates. Confirmation, together with Baptism and the Eucharist, completes our initiation into the Church. In this sacrament, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to help us live as adult Christians. Young people are normally confirmed in Year 9 or above. Older candidates may be invited to prepare through the RCIA programme. Requirements: 1. A Baptism certificate (if not baptised at Our Lady of Hal) 2. Regular Sunday Mass attendance. 3. Commitment to attend all preparation sessions 4. Choosing a saint’s name for Confirmation . 5. A practising Catholic sponsor (aged 16+, not a parent). The Confirmation Mass is usually celebrated by the Bishop during the Easter season. If you wish to apply, the candidate is to e-mail the parish priest: markdunglinson@rcdow.org.uk (copying in your parent or guardian) and explain why you wish to be confirmed. Closing date: 15th December 2025.

First Holy Communion 2026: Applications Now closed

September 5, 2025
The Programme begins in December. FHC is one of the most joyful milestones in a Catholic child’s life. In the Eucharist, we receive not ordinary food, but Christ Himself—His Body and Blood. Children normally make their FHC in Year 3, provided they are baptised and able to understand the sacredness of what they are receiving. As part of the preparation programme, they will also make their First Confession learning about God’s forgiveness and mercy. If your child is due to make their First Communion next year—or if you are an older child, teenager, or adult who has not yet received the sacrament—please get in touch. We would be delighted to welcome you into the preparation journey. For an application form please e-mail the parish office: camdentown@rcdow.org.uk Closing date: 30th November 2025.
