A Message for Sixth Class

The Sacrament of Confirmation.

Hello Sixth Class ,

This is just a little message to let you know I am thinking of you, especially at the moment. As you know this week would have been a very exciting and an important one in your final year in Primary School. No doubt, we would have been up to our eyes in Confirmation art, songs and prayers.  Practicing in the church with Fr Charlie and making a big effort to have a very special Confirmation Ceremony for you and your families.  

I want to know that your special day is not forgotten, it is postponed.  We will hopefully have the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation together once it is safe to do so.

Until then stay safe, be good for your parents and try your best in every thing you do.

God bless, 

Sarah Ginty.
