The Sacrament of Confirmation

The Celebration of Confirmation is how we, as Catholics are "enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit” so that we can live " as true witnesses of Christ, more [ready] to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1285). This important Sacrament completes our initiation into the Church, and the preparation for this special Sacrament is key to how we respond to Jesus’ call to “love one another”.

Registration

All young people wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation must register with the Parish. Once the forms are ready we will send links to the various school contacts we have who will disseminate the information. Advance notice, if your child was Baptised outside of St Michael’s Parish you will need a copy of their Baptismal Certificate.

Daily Prayer for your Confirmation

O God, I pray that you give me a right heart, that I may come to know you in Jesus. Lead me to know the sinfulness of my own heart, and your great love for me, in Christ Jesus. Help those who teach me, to give me the teaching I need. Grant that, on my Confirmation Day, I may be ready to give myself to be your faithful soldier and servant to my life’s end; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
