Confirmation
At the beginning of the year our candidates, along with their parents’ support, expressed their desire to join their Catholic community more fully by receiving the final Sacrament of Initiation and to be confirmed. After pledging their commitment, the candidates and their families have been preparing themselves by learning more about God, the Holy Spirit and about their faith community.
On Tuesday evening, we celebrated as a school and Parish community as our St Michael’s students were confirmed through the Laying on of Hands and anointing with the Oil of Chrism. They have each been revisited and strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Through walking their spiritual and sacramental journey with their families, teachers, peers, Parish and importantly, with God, they have nurtured their faith and renewed their commitment. During this journey the candidates have also been deepening their personal relationship with Jesus. Our Confirmees, reignited by the Holy Spirit, are now ready to continue their mission to love and serve, to be God’s witnesses and to spread the Good News. Congratulations to all our Confirmation candidates and thank you to the families and teachers who have supported their journey.
St Michael’s Feast Day - Save the Date
The Feast Day of St Michael is Friday the 29th of September. As this is in the school holidays we will celebrate with a whole school liturgy on the last day of term, Friday the 22nd of September. All families are welcome to join us for the liturgy. More information to come.
