Confirmation

Young people wishing to be confirmed after Easter are encouraged to present themselves as candidates for the annual parish confirmation programme. The candidates are usually between the ages of 14 to 16 at the time of enrolment. The confirmation programme is organised by the Fr Rajiv and Fr Jakub and is delivered by a team of catechists.

Confirmation Date

To be confirmed! It will be in May or June but we need to confirm the date with the Bishop.

Confirmation Names

It goes without saying that the best confirmation names to choose are those of the saints. It means that we have a patron (a friend in heaven) praying for us. You can follow the link ‘Saints’ at www.catholic.org for a full list of saints’ names. Fr Rajiv and Fr Jakub will be happy to offer more guidance.
