Reflection

Confirmation at St Bede's
Tuesday evening we were joined by Bishop Les Tomlinson, Fr John Salvano and Fr John to celebrate our 2025 Confirmation Mass. The Church was full and the students from Year 6 and our Parish Catechesis program embraced the significance of their third Sacrament of Initiation by responding with strong 'I do's' to the Renewal of their Baptismal Promises. We congratulate all in our community who participated and shared in this special celebration. Please see the list below of the students who were Confirmed:

Prayer of Thanksgiving
Dear God,
We thank You for the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit that You poured out on us at Confirmation. Help us keep the flame of faith bright in our hearts, just as Pope John Paul II asked us to keep the “life‑giving flame of the Holy Spirit” alive. May the seven gifts You gave us—wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord—grow stronger each day, so we can be brave witnesses of Jesus in school, at home, and with our friends. Teach us to love one another, to share Jesus’ love with everyone we meet, and to live the promises of the Holy Spirit in our words and actions. Protect us, guide us, and fill us with joy as we walk together toward the light of Christ. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
