Last week a PAM communication went out to families with children in Year 6 who are able to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this year.  If your child is ready to be Confirmed and is in Year 6 but you did not receive the information, please contact Alisha Johnston via email - ajohnston@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au

Next term those students that have received their First Eucharist will be invited to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Preparations for this will begin this term.  If you would like your child to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this year, please take note of the following dates.

For the first time, this year parents will need to enrol their child for the Sacrament of Confirmation at the St Patrick’s Parish office.  This can be done this week and next week at the following times:

Tuesday 13th May 2025 – 1.00pm – 2.00pm 

Friday 16th May 2025 – 1.00pm – 2.00pm

Tuesday 20th May 2025 – 6.30pm – 7.30pm

Upon enrolment, parents will receive paperwork to complete along with further information and instructions regarding Confirmation.  Parents are asked to pay a sacramental enrolment fee of $20 when they enrol their child.  Forms, certificates and prayer cards received at this time will then be returned at one of the commitment masses.

Confirmation will be celebrated on Saturday 30th August with Bishop Greg Bennet.  Masses will take place at 3pm and 6pm at St Patrick’s Church. More information about Confirmation, including registering for masses, will be shared at a later date.
