In October each year an invitation is extended to the young people of the Parish who wish to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Young people should be in Year 6 (age 10-11) or above and be willing to follow a programme of preparation. Confirmation is usually celebrated in June or July. The programme of preparation usually starts in November, with meetings which are held before the Saturday 6.30pm Vigil Mass, and also includes activities such as bowling and archery, aimed at creating friendship and a deeper awareness of the Christian Spirit.
