CONFIRMATION

Congratulations to our Year 6 children who received the sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday evening. It was inspiring to witness these young people confidently and proudly profess their Faith in the presence of Bishop Hanna and our Parish community. The support of families and sponsors was very much evident – gathering to celebrate the children’s commitment to living a Christian life is indeed a joyous occasion. Our Year 6 teachers, Brenda Seckold and Phil Shanahan spent many weeks preparing the children for Confirmation and we thank them for their commitment to teaching our faith and for supporting and guiding the children to this new stage in their lives; to a new beginning of being more fully a part of the body of Christ, the Christian community. Bishop Hanna sends these young people out to spread the Good News just as Jesus sent forth his apostles to continue his mission on earth.

Thank you to all staff members who contributed to the celebration of Confirmation this year. It was a wonderful team effort and I very much appreciate your hard work and support. A very big thank you to our beautiful choir. Margy Brown and Margie Moore spent many weeks working with the choir. We thank them for so generously sharing their gifts and expertise.
