Sacrament of Confirmation 2015.
Enrolment forms available from Fr. Peter.
It is the young person themselves who must request the enrolment form.
The must also complete it and bring it back to Fr. Peter as soon as possible.
Bishop Pat Lynch will be visiting our Parish on Friday 19th June 2015 to administer
the Sacrament of Confirmation at 7.30pm Mass.
Candidates must be at least in year 8 of Secondary school. There is no upper age limit.
Those who apply must attend Church regularly. It is important that the young people concerned take
responsibility for putting their name forward themselves and not their parents.
The Newsletter and Church notices will give information about the programme in the coming weeks.
The start date is Sunday 1st March at 5.30pm. Prospective candidates take on a commitment to
come to the preparation programme every week during term time. On the application form they are
asked to write a short letter in their own words saying why they wish to be confirmed.
The preparation is aimed at helping those who enrol to come to a better understanding of this
Sacrament so that they can make an informed decision as to whether they want to go ahead this year
or not. To ask to be confirmed is to say 'yes' to playing a part in the mission and work of the Church.

This meeting is for Parents or Guardians only.
