Our last Confirmation Preparation programme was 2018-19 and we usually run a formation course every 2-3 years.
Youth Group (see here): For other youth (before confirmation, and after it), the youth group meets on the 3rd Friday of each month. The meetings combine social activities and formation.
Our catechists are:
Anne & John Milward;
Andrew & Aimee O'Neill.
We are a delighted that Andrew & Aimee have recently joined as a young new couple. Andrew introduced LifeTeen in South Africa.

Those age 14-15 (year 10 in school) or older. We are focusing on this age so that we can use material from two fantastic new programmes: 'Transformed in Christ' and 'Chosen'.
-
Those wanting to follow Christ and already manifesting this by weekly attendance at Sunday Mass.
-
Those able to take part in the formation, 24 sessions spread out across the school year (September-May). This is a significant commitment of time and energy, even more than that involved in committing yourself to a school sports programme etc, and indicates that this is a major step in your life.
We're using materials from:
(1) The acclaimed 'Transformed in Christ' programme which offers many interactive teaching and prayer elements;
(2) Films from the 'Chosen' Confirmation programme -a dynamic video series using exciting top-rated speakers. Click here for more info.
