Sacrament of Confirmation 2025
Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, enhancing and deepening the spiritual journey that begins with Baptism.
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens a Christian’s relationship with God and fortifies the Gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. This empowerment equips Christians to be more effective witnesses of Christ in the world.
The Catholic Parish of New Plymouth offers an engaging and spirited Confirmation programme every year during Term 2, held on Mondays from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The programme consists of seven sessions, along with a weekend confirmation camp.
Attendance at all sessions and the camp is essential, so please ensure your participation.
We are excited to announce that the Confirmation Programme for 2025 will take place during Term 2, from 28 April 2025 to 15 June 2025.
Confirmation Mass: Sunday, 15 June 2025 at 9:00 AM at St. Joseph's Church with Bishop John Adams; followed by a Confirmation Celebration in the church hall.
Registration will open in Term 1 of 2025.
