Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, enhancing and deepening the spiritual journey that begins with Baptism.
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens a Christian's relationship with God and fortifies the Gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. This empowerment equips Christians to more effectively witness Christ in the world.
The Catholic Parish of New Plymouth offers an engaging and spirited Confirmation programme every year during Term 2, held Mondays from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The programme consists of seven sessions, along with a weekend confirmation camp.
Attendance at all sessions and the camp is essential, so please ensure your participation.
