Confirmation Friday 27th May 2016

Confirmation is a sacrament of initiation which completes baptism
through sealing in Holy Spirit and anoints the recipient as priest, prophet,
and king.

In short it is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the
apostles on the day of Pentecost. Confirmation brings Catholics a
deepening of baptismal grace and unites us more firmly to Christ. It
increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit and leaves an indelible mark on the
soul just like baptism.
Please pray for all of our Confirmation candidates that received their
Sacrament on Friday night with Bishop Mark Edwards.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the children who
received the Sacrament of Confirmation. Fr Thanh Tran
