WELCOME TO SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION PROGRAMME 2025
If you are reading this, you are in the perfect place to consider embarking on this faith journey. I am incredibly proud of you.
Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, which deepens and strengthens the life we receive through Baptism.
Your relationship with God is enhanced when you receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are fortified: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. As a Christian, this equips you to be a more effective witness to Christ in the world.
This year's theme for the Confirmation Programme is FEARLESS ("Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9)
Jesus is calling you to be bold and fearless in approaching Him, stepping out in faith, and trusting Him to lead you.
PLEASE NOTE:
Before enrolling, kindly confirm your ability to attend these sessions.
An attendance record will be kept, and completing all sessions is vital to ensure you are fully prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday, 15 June 2025.
Please have a digital copy of your baptism certificate and a photo ready to upload. If you were baptised in the Anglican Church, you must provide the Acceptance Letter from the Catholic Church, along with a picture of yourself.
In Christ,
SUSILO Kentjana
Youth Minister
