Confirmation 2027
The Sacrament of Confirmation:
• You need to be in School Year 10, 11 or 12 and be under 18.
• And be regularly attending Sunday Mass at St Joan of Arc
• or at Holy Family (Heath End) or Holy Angels (Ash).
Applications for this year are now closed.
For those who are Baptised and have received their First Holy Communion, one further Sacrament of Initiation enables them to commit to their faith wholeheartedly. We hope you feel you are ready to take this step.
Confirmation is both a gift and an invitation. The Holy Spirit comes to the individual who is anointed with the oil of chrism and helps him or her live a life of faith. Parents bring their babies to church to be Baptised and at Confirmation it is the young person who takes responsibility themselves for leading an active Christian life.
Those embarking on this process, have considered the following commitments:
• I attend Sunday Mass each week
• I will commit to the programme, putting work, clubs & other programmes into 2nd place.
• I wish to grow in my faith and am ready to participate in discussions.
• I will listen to input respectfully and allow others to express their opinion.
• I wish to live out my faith.
