As has been the tradition in recent years, we hope to join with candidates from other parishes around the Diocese for the Confirmation Service due to take place in Christ Church Cathedral Dublin on Sunday, September 28th at 3.30pm. Those interested in being confirmed this year are asked to forward their name to me at garydowd51@gmail.com as soon as possible.
  The traditional age guideline for candidates in this parish has been second year in secondary school but I am very happy to facilitate a group made up of a wider age range.  If you feel this is the right time for your son or daughter to be confirmed please get in touch.  Thank you.
Rev Gary Dowd
