THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION:

This week, at Christ the King on Wednesday and at St Anthony’s on Thursday, some of our young people will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation from Archbishop John, while others have already received the Sacrament at the Cathedral recently. As always, I ask your prayers for them and their families. At a time when there is growing concern about what the future holds for our young people, my prayer is that as a community we will continue to do all we can to enable them to realise the dignity that is theirs as children of God and enable them to use their gifts in the service of the Church and the world.

I still thank God for the initiative from our Awakening Day in 2015 that led to the Junior Justice and Peace Group, the fruits of which are now being shared across the Archdiocese with Sarah McGeehan as the Youth Ministry Coordinator.
