Confirmation

14/6/2018

 
We had been working so hard preparing for the Confirmation for months. The week before the Ceremony of Light, we started the practices in the Church. We went over all the prayers and songs and worked hard to complete projects on our Confirmation Saint and our Confirmation copies. 
 
Girls that do not celebrate Confirmation or the Catholic Faith spent a month designing a special personal project on their lives. It was really nice to celebrate our diversity and support one another. 
​
The Ceremony of Light was on Monday the 23rd of April in the evening. It was a beautiful mass and a lovely experience. We received the 'light' of our faith from our parents. This was symbolised with our baptismal candles. 

Everyday the girls got more and more excited for the Confirmation. We went to the church every afternoon to practice for the big day. Some of us had readings and prayers to recite. It was a lot of fun. We had a lovely conversation with Fr. Frank about his albs and the occasions he wore them for, his special chalice and about his life. On the Friday before our Confirmation we had a half day so we could get prepared. 

On Saturday the 28th April, as we all gathered in the church in the morning. We got to show off our beautiful outfits and meet the bishop who was confirming us. 5th class girls sang in the choir for our mass. It was a lovely ceremony. 

After the mass we took our class photograph on the steps of the altar. We got to take photographs with our family, our friends and our teacher in and outside the church. 

​It was an unforgettable day!
