Confirmation
This week in our Parish we welcome and thank our Bishop, Bishop Tom for joining us to celebrate Confirmation with boys and girls from our Parish.
This is a very special day in our Parish. All windows in St. Mary’s church have been cleaned, pews have been polished and floor vacuumed in preparation for the Ceremony.
Our Parish Confirmation Ceremonies will take place in St. Mary’s Church next Thursday, 27th February at 10 am for children from St. Patrick’s School and 12 pm for children from Whitecross School. Tickets have been allocated to each child and they will be distributed during the week.
On Tuesday, 25th February, our Candidates and their families will have an opportunity to receive the Love of God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This Sacrament will take place in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown at 7:30 pm.
