Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, often referred to as a sacrament of initiation, alongside Baptism and Eucharist. It is a significant milestone in a Catholic’s spiritual journey, marking the completion of their initiation into the Church. During Confirmation, the individual receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the laying of hands and anointing with chrism oil.

We will have a meeting of parents of our 2026 Confirmation classes on next Wednesday, 1st October at 7pm in Newmarket-on-Fergus Church. This will be an opportunity to look forward and prepare for that special day for you child and family.
