CONFESSION
Confession is on Saturdays at 16h45 -17h15 or by appointment and will take place observing appropriate Covid protocols. (Please contact the Parish Office).
Spiritual Confession: If you cannot go to confession in person, we are still permitted and encouraged to make a spiritual confession. This consists of a perfect act of contrition and resolve to make a confession as soon as possible. Please click here to download Spiritual Confession document here.

If you wish to have mass said for any special intentions, please email the parish office on materecl@constantiacatholic.co.za to make your request. Mass intentions can be found in the simplified weekly bulletin, which is available on our Bulletins page.
You can EFT or Snapscan your donation and simply use reference: MASS INTENTION (your name) (preferred day). The suggested minimum amount for Mass Intentions is R40, per the Archdiocese of Cape Town.
Banking details are: Constantia Catholic Church / Standard Bank: Branch 025 309 / Current Account no 07 169 8965.
The Archbishop requires that Sunday mass is offered Pro Populo (for the people) so any intentions requested for Sundays need to be scheduled for weekdays.
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
Please click here to download Spiritual Communion document published by the Archdiocese of Cape Town.
Some hints and suggestions for making a meaningful Spiritual Communion are:
- Prepare the service: Download the document and read through it making sure you are prepared beforehand. You will need to have the daily readings from your missal, or you can access them here. If you want to sing hymns, prepare them ahead of time too. Know the order of the service – it is a familiar one to us, but it is worth being solemnly prepared.
- Give children tasks to do and let everyone participate.
- Prepare the room: Some suggested things you can do are to setup a table with a cloth, lighted candle, crucifix, the Bible, holy water, etc
- Create the right atmosphere: Create a sense of quiet and stillness, turn off technology, TV, cell phones and have everyone quietly sit in the room. Use silence – for it is in the quiet that we can hear Our Lord.
