Confirmation
|
Confirmation, one of the three Sacraments of Initiation into the Catholic Church is normally celebrated in our Archdiocese when children are in Year 6. It provides an opportunity for our children as they start to mature, to re-commit to the faith their parents entrusted to them at the time of their baptism. Like each of our Sacramental programs, the time of Confirmation provides parents with an opportunity to refresh their own understanding and commitment to their own faith, and so parents play an integral role in the preparation of their children.
Our program includes a parents' reflection evening, three evenings with parents, children and group leaders and a reflection day for the whole group together. |

Please return all the activities to the office via email fft@hnom.com.au or delivered to 3a Mary St Hunters Hill. Once we have received all your child’s/children’s activities, your child/children will be ready to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Closer to the time we will organize a reflection half day.
