As you know, the children will soon begin their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation which will take place in April, during the weeks of Eastertide. Children belonging to St Joseph’s parish or those who made their First Communion there can be confirmed in St Mirin’s Cathedral, Paisley. Children belonging to St Vincent’s and Holy Name parish can be confirmed in their own parish. For those children who were confirmed in Primary 4, I am sure their studies this year will deepen their understanding of the sacrament.  Your child will be very welcome to join one of the masses and receive a blessing.  Also, if your child has not made any of the sacraments, we would be very happy for your family to join us and your child can receive a blessing if you wish. If you have any questions around the reception of the sacrament, please do not hesitate to contact me.Please find attached a date for St Joseph’s parents to attend a Confirmation information evening with Father Jim. (only for children being Confirmed in St Mirin’s Cathedral)
