Celebration of Confirmation at St Brigid's

On Wednesday 15 September, some of our school community gathered at St Brigid’s church for an evening of celebration and Confirmation. The Mass was celebrated by Fr Cecil and Bishop David. Mrs O’Driscoll organised the students and helped in our preparation for Confirmation. On the evening the church was as full as I have seen it since before lockdown. The evening was calm and very special, I felt the presence of the Spirit, and support from all the families celebrating their children’s’ Confirmations. There were some familiar teacher’s faces from St Brigid’s School, and some of the teachers from our school in attendance. The reading from St Paul’s Letter to Timothy was very relevant on an evening filled with the spirit. When we came to Confirmation, Bishop David laid his hands above our heads, we were blessed with Chrism, and we invited the Spirit to transform our lives and to be living witnesses to the Gospel.

Thank you to Miss Moran, Mrs Devlin, Mr Martin, Mr Nolan, and Mrs O’Driscoll for supporting me on my journey, and to the staff of St Brigid’s for the lovely readings and bidding prayers. Congratulations to Laura, Edric, Noah, Sienna, Autumn, Katrina, Euan, Seamus, Maxwell, and William, and we ask for your prayers in support.
