A prayer for 'Confirmation'
God our Father,
We thank you for our young people who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
You call each one of them by name and promise that whatever happens in their lives, you will be with them always.
We pray that this journey of Confirmation will be an opportunity for them to deepen their faith and renew their hope in you so that your love may shine through them to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their helper and guide.
Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgement and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Year 6 Sacrament of Confirmation
It was wonderful to see all of the candidates, sponsors and families come together from our 3 parishes for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are very grateful to Father Andrew Madry and Father Michael Gallacher for leading this ceremony. And also to our Confirmation Preparation team of Toni Allen and Jess Mount.
