Sacrament of Confirmation

On Saturday 29^th July we begin our preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation with our Year 5/6 children. The lesson will be held in the Year 5 classroom at 3:45 pm – 4:50 pm. A commitment Mass for the Confirmation Candidates and Parents will follow.

Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation. Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of Baptismal grace:

• It grounds us more deeply in our relationship with God.
• It unites us more firmly to Christ.
• It strengthens our bond with the Church.
• It gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread the faith by word and action as true witnesses.

We look forward to working together, as our young people continue their faith journey. Confirmation will be celebrated on Saturday 19^th August at 5pm in St Patrick’s Church.

"Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the hearts of your faithful; kindle in them the fire of your love" 

***** PLEASE NOTE- When completing the Registration Form for Confirmation, the Parish Office needs to have a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate attached.

Christian Meditation

The children and teachers at St Patrick’s are continuing to practice Christian Meditation in their classrooms. Christian Meditation is a form of Contemplative Prayer. The ideals of Christian Meditation are:

SILENCE

SIMPLICITY

Be with God’s Spirit in your heart.
