Confirmation

With great joy we celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation last Sunday with our Year 6 students. Bishop Tony Ireland visited our school last Friday and shared his story and asked the children to share theirs - How many children in their family, what footy team they barracked for, what saint name they had chosen and why?

The thought and consideration the students had given to the choosing of their saint was amazing. The links to family, to people, to story and to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit were often mentioned. I invite you to ask a Year 6 student what saint they chose and why. I also invite you to pray for a our newly Confirmed, the opening prayer from Sunday's Mass.

Let us pray.

Fulfil for us your gracious promise, O Lord, we pray,

so that by his coming

the Holy Spirit may make us witnesses before the world

to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

One God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
