Confirmation Registration for 2026/2027
The Sacrament of Confirmation Applications for the ‘Sacrament of Confirmation’ at St Joan of Arc are now open. To apply:
• You need to be in School Year 10, 11 or 12 and
be under 18 by the end of June 2027.
• And be regularly attending Sunday Mass at St Joan of Arc
• or at Holy Family (Heath End) or Holy Angels (Ash).
You can collect an application form from Mass and return it any time before Friday 23rd October at the latest.
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.
Before embarking on this process, you should consider the following commitment:
• 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.
