Confirmation
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.
Meetings take place in the Church Hall. If you would like to join the Confirmation Programme, you will need to be in year 10 at school. Sign up on the list at the entrance to church or contact the following.
