“Be sealed with the gift Holy Spirit…”
Thank you for taking the time to find out what is required for the Sacrament of Confirmation in our Parish!
Our annual programme is for Year 8 students and above, starting at the beginning of each year. Other opportunities can be organised for adults to receive this Sacrament by contacting the Parish.
The Sacrament of Confirmation helps to empower the person (candidate) to live out their Catholic faith, and to receive the final Rite of Initiation into the Church.
Confirmation Mass 2026:
Sunday 17 May (Time and Location TBC)
2026 Confirmation Programme Dates
Confirmation sessions will be held on Monday afternoons. Depending on the size of the group, we may have to do two groups but this will be decided after registrations close at Christ the King Pastoral Centre. These will be confirmed in the new year.
The dates for the Confirmation Weekend Retreat is to be confirmed.
There is an expectation that confirmation candidates attend all sessions, and the Confirmation Retreat.
REGISTRATIONS FOR THE CONFIRMATION PROGRAMME, 2026 ARE NOW OPEN (SEE BELOW)
““In Confirmation the soul of a baptised Christian is imprinted with a permanent seal that can be received only once and marks this individual forever as a Christian. The gift of the Holy Spirit is the strength from above in which this individual puts the grace of their Baptism into practice through their life and acts as a ‘witness’ for Christ.””
