6th Class Confirmation

6^th Class Confirmation

We made our Confirmation on Wednesday the 13^th of April in Clarinbridge church. Bishop Drennan confirmed us on the day.

The mass began with Paschal and Megan reading the introduction. Following this Luke, John and Ben read during the offertory procession while Caoimhe, Sam and Adam brought up the gifts. Then Michael and Adam read the first and second readings. After this Bishop Drennan called us up to the altar with our sponsors for the laying on of hands. Next, a number of students read the prayers of the faithful. To conclude the mass Eve Cloonan read a reflection about our journey to the Confirmation.

We are very thankful to Ms. O’ Callaghan for preparing us for our Confirmation. We are also thankful to Mrs. Gohery for leading the 5^th Class choir, who were excellent on the day.

After the ceremony we took loads of photographs with our families and friends. Everyone went different places to celebrate. It was a great day for all.

6^th Class Retreat

Last Tuesday, 6^th Class took part in a retreat in preparation for our Confirmation which is happening next Wednesday the 13^th of April.

Fr. Diarmuid, the Oranmore parish priest, came to our school tyo work with us for a few hours.  He talked to us about the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Then he sat and listened to our Confirmation names. We also wrote letters to Bishop Drennan telling him about our Confirmation preparation.

To finish the day we celebrated mass. We all had a very enjoyable day.
