A thief stole the collection between Sunday Masses in July. The theft was reported to the police, who took fingerprints. This led to the authorities questioning a suspect, but we have been informed they have declined to prosecute. If you see anyone you don’t know hanging around Sacred Heart Church before or after Mass, please make them welcome and tell one of the clergy.
The Sacred Heart church can be found in Trott Street (off Battersea High Street) SW11 3DS.
If you need to get in touch with the church, please call 020 7223 2747
Parish Priest: Father Christopher Heaps, SDB
Clergy: Deacon Michael Kennedy
The majority of Catholics are baptised as babies before they are old enough to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Their parents and godparents promise to bring them up in the Christian faith following Jesus’s example.
When they reach an age where they are able to understand the difficulties and challenges of living out the Christian faith, they are invited to confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism through confirmation.
In most Catholic churches today, Catholics are confirmed when they are about 14 years old. The sacrament of confirmation is often held on Pentecost Sunday when Christians celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
