Confirmation is a precious gift of grace won for us by Jesus Christ through his death on the cross. So if you want to be Confirmed, you need to receive this gift in the right way. You need to be practising your Catholic faith. This means at the very least that you should be coming to Mass every Sunday. You also need to keep free all the dates in the Confirmation programme. Most important of all, you must prepare seriously and actively to receive the sacrament.

Young people

Young people who will be in Year 8 or above are invited to join the Confirmation Programme each year.

The date of our Confirmation Mass will be announced as soon as it is known.

The Confirmation programme is announced at Mass and in the Newsletter for at least a month before enrolment closes. If you are not coming to Mass regularly, you may not hear about the programme.

It is not possible to enrol candidates for the programme after it has started because ours is a short but intensive programme.

See also our Confirmation FAQ page.

Adults

Adults who have not been Confirmed should contact the Parish Priest and arrangements will be made for them to receive the sacrament either on the occasion of the Bishop's visit to the parish or at the Easter Vigil.
