Confirmation 2007

Last Wednesday and Thursday nights, Fr Robert McGuckin together with Frs Paul and Stephen celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation in the new Church of Blessed John XXIII. Much prepaaration had gone into this with special groups meeting in the preceding weeks to come to a deeper knowledge of the Sacrament and its meaning for them. Families and friends from near and far came to join with the children in this special ceremony. The rain and cold did not dampen anyone spirits neither did the fact that the State of Origin match was on the Wednesday night! It was a great occasion as Fr Robert recalled with photos his confirmation and spoke to the children about what it means. Fr Paul also reminded the children how special it was they they had been blessed with the same oil that only a week before was used to bless their new church.
