Confirmation
Tate: It was a great experience and it was great to have been Confirmed. My mum, dad and sister were there with me. My dad was my Sponsor. My Confirmation name was Saint Patrick because my dad also used the same saint and my middle name is Patrick.
Maria: My job was to get a blessing. My mum, dad and my sister were there with me. My Saint's name is St Maria Gorreti because she had the same name as me. I had to go up and get a Special Blessing from Bishop Tony.
Archie: On Thursday night at 7pm all the Year 6 students gathered in the St Brigid's Church. We had our family and someone called our sponsor to attend. My sponsor was my grandma. My job was to walk up to the Bishop with my sponsor to be confirmed, then we got our certificate and walked back to our seats. My Confirmation name was David and he was the patron Saint of Wales.
Keira: On Thursday, we went to the church and we got confirmed by Bishop Tony. I carried the host up to the altar. My family all sat with me, including my sponsor who was my mum's friend. My Confirmation name was Saint Flora.
Mission Month
In the Catholic Church October has long been recognised as Mission Month. The month starts off with the feast of St Thérèse of Lisieux and draws to a close with Mission Sunday, a special day of prayer and world wide agreement celebrated in all Catholic parishes around the globe.
Learning about Mission Month at school we are understanding the needs of others and the hardships that they face. We donate money and share other ideas on how else we can help.

Message from Mrs Sullivan
It absolutely makes our day when we get lovely emails like these from our community:
A little note to say a big thank you to you and your wonderful team for putting on a really beautiful Confirmation mass last night for the grade 6 students.
We're really cherishing all these events in this last year of primary school for Tilly, and all the effort, dedication and time that staff put into these events (during and after school hours) is really appreciated.
Thank you again!
Lainey
That was lovely to see Emma mentioned in the newsletter - thank you! So nice to see so many St Brigid girls doing well at Kilbreda - speaks volumes about their primary schooling doesn’t it?
Have a lovely day,
Rachel
