Confirmation   

The Sacrament of Confirmation completes the Sacrament of Baptism.
It is usually administered when the child is in Primary 4 class, after the child has received the Sacrament of Reconciliation

and before the child makes First Holy Communion.

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation takes place in school and in the parish on Sundays after 10 a.m. Mass,

which are designated in the Sunday Newsletter.

Before Confirmation is administered to any child there must be regular practice of faith, a strong desire to be Confirmed and fulfilment of all the preparation programme both at school and in the parish.

The Sponsor at Confirmation should be one of the Baptismal Godparents and that person must be a practising Catholic.

Another Christian name is usually chosen for Confirmation.

In Confirmation the child is anointed with Holy Oil of Chrism and receives the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are:

Wisdom
Understanding
Right Judgement
Courage
Knowledge
Reverence
Wonder and Awe

A record of Confirmation is kept at the place of Baptism.
