Sacramental Preparation

Confirmation

Sometimes when we receive an Invite to a Wedding we can say we got a summons! And yet we are invited to share in the love of the Couple and a new beginning in their lives…

You, the parents/guardians and candidates are receiving an invite to participate in our preparation masses.

This helps us, adults, grow in the Love of God but also and maybe more importantly, it allows the children to grow in the knowledge and love of God which is life changing. A new beginning in their lives!

Confirmation Candidates and their families and in particular their Sponsor (if possible), are invited to attend 7 pm Vigil Mass on Saturday, 10th October and/or 11:30 am Mass on Sunday 18th October in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown.

Our Confirmation Ceremonies will take place on Thursday, 25th February 2027.
