Confirmation
The celebration of Confirmation is a sacred and important moment on a long journey of faith development. Together with Baptism and First Holy Communion it opens the door to full membership of the Christian community. It is the beginning of the young adult’s ownership of their faith, supported and nourished by their family and their faith community.
Online Confirmation Talk
“Faith for the Journey: Supporting Your Child Towards Confirmation”
Wednesday 25th November @ 7.30pm
As your child prepares for Confirmation, your love, encouragement and example have an important part to play in their faith journey. Join guest speaker Gemma Mulligan for a welcoming online talk for parents and guardians in the Diocese of Kerry, exploring the meaning of Confirmation and simple ways to support your child at home. Whether faith is part of your everyday life or you are finding your way back, this is an opportunity to pause, reflect and feel encouraged. You don’t need to have all the answers – walking beside your child is a wonderful place to begin.

Parish Preparation Programme
Our new Diocesan Programme Called & Sent is a parish based Confirmation preparation programme that invites children and their families to grow in faith within their parish community. Through eight themed monthly Masses, prayer and reflective activities, children explore the meaning of Confirmation and discover how the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit can shape their everyday lives. Bringing together home, school and parish, the programme helps children prepare to receive the sacrament with understanding and joy, and encourages them to live their faith with confidence, kindness and a spirit of service.
