Next term, Primary students who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation will be engaging in learning to explore the Christian call to be saints – to holiness – which all of us receive at our Baptism. Students will identify, in their experience, people who demonstrate holiness in love and service of others. The Sacrament of Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of Christian initiation. It completes Baptism, by which in the laying on of hands and the anointing with Chrism Oil, candidates are confirmed with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

The preparation time for each sacrament marks another significant step in your child’s formation in the Catholic faith and continues to be a very important period in your family’s life too, with Jesus Christ and his Church.

Students who are preparing to complete the Sacrament of Confirmation will need to be registered by Wednesday 5th July. A note with further information was emailed to parents of Sacrament candidates this week.
