There will be a short Rite of Enrolment during all masses on the weekend of 23^rd/24^th November in St. Joseph’s Church. This is for all children who will be receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in St. Mirin’s Cathedral on 1^st May 2014.
Parents should bring their child to any Mass and ideally sponsors should attend, if they live locally. Father will address the parents, sponsors, children and then the parish community asking that we all work together to support the children in their preparation to receive the Holy Spirit.
Children should wear their own clothes, NOT school uniform.
The children will be writing a letter to Fr. David Boyd, Diocesan Administrator, asking to receive the sacrament. They will outline the reasons why they have chosen their saint’s name as an inspiration in their daily lives. They will present this letter to Fr. Jim at the Mass.
We will send home the letter at the end of next week to be counter signed by parents, please remember to take it with you to Mass.
Reminder of Mass times in St. Joseph’s Church – Vigil 6pm, 10am 12pm and 6pm
If you have any questions regarding Confirmation, please call Mrs. Dowling.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the Masses.
