The sacrament of Confirmation celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit with His gifts inspired the apostles to take the step of preaching the good news. We are made members of God’s family at Baptism. At Confirmation, our Baptism is completed or “sealed” by the Holy Spirit and we are called to be Christian witnesses, just like the apostles.​

 

The 6th class children of the parish primary schools are nominated by their parents as candidates for confirmation.

 

Supported by their parents, the parish and the school, they prepare for this important day where the promises made for them at Baptism are confirmed by them in the presence of the parish community.
