Confirmation 2008



George Joyce,Niall Connors,David Sherry,Ross Caswell,Joseph Mahon,Brendan Farrell,Ronan Devine,Fiona Keely,John Coen,Aine O'Donnell and Clare Caulfield all received the Sacraments of Confirmation, on March 4th.
On that windy,blustery March day we were anxiously waiting to receive the Gift of Confirmation.We sat side by side, some earlier than others.It was the first Confirmation in this diocese. It was in "The Church of the Nativity," in Kilchrest.Confirming us, was none other, than Bishop of Galway, Bishop Martin Drennan. There were six other schools, eagerly anticipating to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
The Confirmation was hosted by Kilchreest who had the honour of doing the readings and providing the choir.
Each family sat or stood.Each individual had two sponsors of their choice. Our Confirmation name choices were George Jeremiah,Niall Jack,Joseph Mark,Ross Christopher,Fiona Imelda, David Thomas,Brendan Colm,Ronan Kevin,John Martin,Clare Bernadette,Áine Máire.
We all enjoyed our special day and have received the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

By George Joyce, Niall Connors,Joseph Mahon and Ross Caswell.
