Receive the Power of the Spirit

A Diocesan day on the sacrament of confirmation was attended by over 50 catechists, deacons and priests. The new church hall of St Bede’s at Basingstoke provided a beautiful setting for the day and many participants said how much they appreciated being able to see the new church and parish centre.

We were delighted to have Yonara Bandeira and Carolina Andrade two lay missionaries from Brazil , who are at Sacred Heart Church in Bournemouth for one year.

The focus for the day was on the importance of reflecting on the Rite of Confirmation itself as preparation for the sacrament. This is for everyone - catechists, candidates, families, sponsors, clergy and parish community.

If you would like more information on Confirmation preparation please contact the team at Department for Pastoral Formation.
