Confirmation 2021

Confirmation

Dear friends and parishioners

On Thursday evening and Saturday morning, twenty-four of our young people will be confirmed. We have been very impressed by them during their preparation over the past weeks. We are very grateful to catechists Ansti, Megan and Ali for guiding them and planning the celebrations themselves. We all can play a part, too, by praying for them, not only up to but also after the Sacrament. Don’t forget!

A list of confirmation candidates’ names is included in the Order of Service for the upcoming Confirmation Masses on Thursday 15 July and Saturday 17 July 2021 at St Brigid’s and Christ the King Churches respectively.

Our faith journey

Dear friends and parishioners

On Friday we celebrated with Fr Andy 40 years of his living out of the vocation of priesthood. This Saturday Lee Robinson becomes a full member of the Catholic Church during Mass at Christ the King. In two weeks 19 or 20 of our young people will be confirmed.

These three events remind us of a phrase we hear much of nowadays – our faith journey. Indeed, we all have to find and make our journey, measured out by such landmarks as these. So, let’s ask ourselves, how is my faith journey? Am I making progress? If not, how can I move on? These and related questions we place before the Lord.
