On Saturday, 14th April, 21 girls from our school and 21 boys from St Mary’s Boys School, Ferrybank made their Confirmation. It was new Bishop Dermot Farrell’s first Confirmation and what a fantastic bunch of young people he got to celebrate this first for him. As you entered the church on Saturday, it was plain to be seen how much preparation both Sixth Classes had put in. Looking around you could see their beautiful artwork, their doves and their frames. You could see the Project that they completed on their taken Saint. What was most impressive however, was their participation in their ceremony. Every response was clear and confident. The readers were great, the gift bearers were great and each and every child confidently presented themselves to the Bishop to be anointed. They were a credit to their parents, family, friends and their schools.
The girls and boys had practiced hard all the previous, making several trips up to the church to ensure a seamless ceremony for all. Thank you to Fr. Crotty and Fr. Dempsey for all their help. Special thanks to Mrs. Fenton who made the trip up with us on Friday to display all the posters and artwork with hep from girls from 6th and 4th Class.
