The Sacrament of Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptised] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed

(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285).

In preparation for Confirmation in July, three adults have come forward who have been baptised but due to various circumstances have not been confirmed. Canon John is running a preparation programme for these three adults which will run in parallel to the preparation for the young people. If there are any other adult parishioners who have not been confirmed for whatever reason, please let Canon know by email – whitchurch@rcadc.org or by giving him your name after Mass.
