St Julie’s students receive the Sacrament of Confirmation

Over the last two weeks, members of our school community joined with young people from across our Pastoral Area to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

During Confirmation, the young people reaffirmed the promises made for them at Baptism by their parents and God-parents.

The link between the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation is strong and to emphasise this further, they relit their Baptism candles as they made their Profession of Faith.

Each candidate chose a saint’s name that is special to them; they were anointed with the oil of Chrism and surrounded by their Sponsor and family group, they lit a candle as a symbol of the light of Christ in their lives.

Many congratulations and may the light of Christ always burn within you!
