Confirmation: Friday 3rd November 2023 at 7:00pm
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be held at St James Forest Lodge.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is your child’s further commitment to their Baptism, when they receive the blessings and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The preparation for this Sacrament, is done as a communal effort between the family, parish and school.
The four preparation dates are to be confirmed.
As the primary educators of the faith, parents are involved in preparing their child to receive the sacrament by working through the activity book and discussing the sacraments at home.
Preparation Activity Book
Your child will receive an activity book to help them prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This book contains four sessions which are to be completed together by the parent and child.
- Jesus promises the Holy Spirit
- Pentecost – The Holy Spirit comes
- The work of the Holy Spirit – Gifts and Fruits
- Celebrating Confirmation
