The preparation sessions for the young people will begin after Christmas, leading up to the Celebration of the Sacrament in June 2010. 

The minimum age for Confirmation is 14, this is usually year 9 in School, and those who are seeking to be confirmed have already written to Fr Martin stating who they are and why they would like to be Confirmed.
