Understanding the spiritual and material realities of life Confirmation is the gift of the Holy Spirit, freely given to those who wish to receive it. Those young people who wish to learn about what it means to be confirmed are invited with their parents to a meeting on in late November in the Parish Centre to register their interest in being confirmed Confirmation preparation is in two parts. The first part aims to help a young person to be free and open in their decision to confirm their Catholic Faith, the second part helps to prepare them to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The minimum age for confirmation is 15 years at the date of confirmation.
