Confirmation
Confirmation is for those who have been baptised and want to publicly ‘confirm’ their faith and receive the laying on of hands by the bishop.

Confirmation
The journey to confirmation is a very important time for each (usually teenaged) person involved and we aim to support parishes and their candidates as much as possible.
To help with preparation there is a confirmation handbook available to parishes as well as advice and samples of other resources for delivering the course. We can also work with you to help you deliver a course and perhaps form partnerships with other parishes for confirmations.
Usually the Big Diocesan Youth Weekend, in Spring each year, is a big part of the preparation for many churches.
Please contact Josh Thornbury: josh@downanddromore.org if you would like more information about confirmation.
