Confirmation Programme 2011/2012
Each year, young people, aged 14+ in year 10 or above, are invited to enrol in a catechetical programme of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. The content of the programme is based on the Diocesan Scheme “Welcome the Spirit”. Its aim is to prepare young people to affirm their membership of the Church, to develop their Faith, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit to commit them to Christ through the Church.
If you would like to join the Confirmation Programme, you will need to be in year 10 or above at school. You will need to complete an enrolment form which can be downloaded here obtained either from the back of the church or the Presbytery. The completed enrolment form should be returned to the Presbytery. A Retreat permission form will need to be completed also. You can download the form here.
