"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 4:6-7)
First Communion
If your child was baptised as an infant and they have started primary school, then they will be looking to receive their first communion as a member of the Church. Communion is the receiving of bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ, during our Parish Eucharist service. We will prepare each child as they take this first step in making the faith their own. Typically this is offered to children between the ages of five and ten.
Confirmation
Confirmation is an important milestone in making faith your own, especially if you were baptised as a child. It marks the point in the Christian journey where those who have been baptised make a firm commitment to live and work as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop, the Church asks God to fill each candidate with the power of the Holy Spirit to live the life of a disciple. We can take candidates from around the age of ten onwards.
