ConfirmationNow when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:14-17).

At St Anne’s, if you are a baptised Catholic and Year 10 or older in school, you can prepare for Confirmation. Preparation usually begins in February or March with the celebration of the Sacrament in May.

Look out for the application form in the autumn and winter parish newsletters. The form is also made available in church.
