We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with Bishop Patrick in October this year. Anybody who is thinking of receiving this sacrament needs to write a letter to Father John expressing why they feel this is right for them and tell him a little bit about their faith journey so far. The Sacrament is open to anybody who is currently in Year 7 upwards. Please provide an email address for yourself or for those under 18 for your parent/carer on the letter so that information of the programme can be sent out. All letters of application need to be received by Tuesday 30th April.
In the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, Confirmation, known also as Chrismation, is one of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ for the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God.
