The Sacrament of Confirmation

17th January 2024

On Wednesday 16th January, Bishop Stephen Wright celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation for our students at St. Bede’s RC in Jarrow.

Students had been working hard since October to prepare for this amazing step in their faith journey, had been reflecting upon which saints had inspired them, chosen their own confirmation names and planned their own contributions to the confirmation Mass.

The Mass was co-celebrated by Fr. Adrian, Fr. Saji and Fr. Jonathan as well as a seminarian for the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, David who is preparing for the priesthood currently.

Students performed beautiful music, read readings and prayers powerfully and took part in the celebration exceptionally.

We are really proud for them and continue to hold them in our prayers as they continue to journey spiritually in faith.

God bless
