Update on the Celebration of the Sacraments of Confirmation, First Confession and First Holy Communion 2021 (and 2020) in the Diocese of Clonfert (extract from the FaceBook page of the diocese)
For 2020 candidates who have yet to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation, it is hoped that their Confirmation ceremony may be scheduled at parish level and celebrated by their local priest as soon as it is considered safe to do so.
It is strongly advised that parishes defer the (2021)celebration of First Confession and First Holy Communion until Autumn 2021. For 2020 candidates who have yet to celebrate First Confession and First Holy Communion, it is hoped that this may be scheduled at parish level as soon as it is safe to do so.
In early September an online revision course in preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation, First Confession and First Holy Communion will be made available.
We are continuing to pray for all those who continue to wait patiently to celebrate these sacraments and their parents at this difficult time for everyone.
