Dear Parents and Carers,
Sacrament of Confirmation
This weekend a number of students from Year 6 will attend a commitment mass as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation later in the term. We keep these children in our thoughts and prayers this weekend and over the coming weeks. This is a very special time in the lives of these young people.
Prayer for Confirmation Candidates
Lord, You send out Your Spirit to touch the hearts of all people, so that they may believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent. Look kindly on all candidates for Confirmation as they listen to Your voice. Open their hearts to Your Spirit and bring to fulfilment the good work that You have begun in them. As we prepare these children for Confirmation, make each of us an instrument of Your love. Teach us to appreciate what is holy in others, and to be patient with what we do not understand. Deepen our faith in the Gospel and help us to pass it on by our example. We pray that You will continue to guide us and sustain us.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
