Young people in school year 9 and upwards are eligible to prepare in their local parish to complete their initiation as members of the Church by receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Pope Francis has told young people, “You can be witnesses of the Gospel, carrying to this world a ray of God’s light”. Preparation for the Sacrament is offered to our young people by volunteer catechists in each parish.
If your son or daughter wishes to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation, or if you are interested in becoming a catechist, please contact your local parish priest or Fr. Andrew Downie, the Dean of the Finchale Partnership, on parish.priest@stcuthberts-durham.org.uk or (0191) 3843442.
