Let us all take advantage of the

wonderful opportunity today, as

our children celebrate their

reception of the Sacrament of

Confirmation, to renew our

commitment and love to the Lord.

Let us pray that Christ’s presence

in the Holy Eucharist and the

power of the gifts of the Holy

Spirit may become active and

visible in their lives.

Let us congratulate...

A very warm Welcome to

His Grace, Archbishop

Mark Coleridge,

who is our main celebrant

at today’s

Sacrament of Confirmation.
