Sacrament of Confirmation
Applications for confirmation programme 2024 has now been closed
At Baptism, we begin a life-long journey and a way of life. At Confirmation, the graces received in Baptism are sealed with the reception of the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. . The words that Jesus shared with his disciples at Pentecost apply to each one of us at Confirmation, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses (Acts 1:8).
In our parish, the Sacrament of Confirmation is typically received by children, who are aged between 13-15 and are baptised. the preparation programme usually begins in January. if you would like to join the programme please keep an eye on the news letter for the starting dates and the process of registration.
