How to obtain a Certificate of Catholic Practice

The purpose of obtaining a reference from any parish priest to support a parental request for a child to gain admission to a Catholic School is to establish regular and genuine Catholic practice; and a commitment to the faith, work and ministry of the parish community. If you are planning on asking Fr Bernard for a reference from September, please make sure he knows you, and adhere to the following guidelines:

1. All Certificates of Catholic Practice must be requested by e mail only parsonsgreen@rcdow.org.uk Parents should indicate what Mass they participate in at the weekend.
2. Fr Bernard will require the full name of your child, date of birth and home address with postcode.
3. A photograph of the parents with their child must be submitted by e mail attachment. 
4. Parents must indicate how many references they require. 

Please note that all requests are by appointment only and availability will be noted in the parish newsletter in September.

In accordance with the Diocese of Westminster General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) all information and images used by the parish office will be deleted once certificates have been approved and completed.
