THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

NEW DATES FOR PREPARATION FAMILY MASSES

 

Dear Parents

 

Since our church opened on 29th June last, more and more people have returned to Mass on weekdays and on Sundays.

 

Attendance in Church must be confined to the limits allowed by the Public Health Authority (NPHET) and in order to avoid impacting on the increasing number of people attending our five regular vigil and Sunday Masses new dates for our preparation Family Masses have been put in place.

 

The new dates for these preparation family Masses for the Sacrament of Confirmation will be

 

Day/Date

Time

Friday 4th September 2020

Since it will not be possible to hold religion classes before Confirmation, we strongly appeal to all parents to bring their children to the three special Family Masses.  We can accommodate your child and a few other people in the new seating arrangement.

 

Please encourage your children to study the relevant pages in their religion book, “Grow In Love”, Sixth Class, and follow the notes for parents.  Please pray every day at home.  We recall how the Apostles prayed with Mary every day to receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

 

May the Holy Spirit help and guide us all.
