Sacrament of Confirmation – New Dates confirmed

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions in the ACT the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation will now be celebrated on:

Tuesday 23 November in St Michael’s Church at 12 noon and 6pm;

Wednesday 24 November in St Monica’s Church at 12 noon and 6pm; and

Thursday 25 November in St Monica’s Church at 12 noon and 6pm.

COVID Restrictions - due to Covid restrictions limited people are allowed in the church for each celebration and as some parents are working from home Fr Loi has included midday and evening liturgies to celebrate the Sacrament. This will be 6 liturgies with around 15 candidates per liturgy.

This means the number of people attending is restricted to a maximum of 4 per family and only people who reside in the household (and the Sponsor). This means the people attending would be, the candidate, their sponsor and 2 other household members. If the sponsor is unable to attend, a parent may stand in as a proxy.

Booking a date for the Sacrament is open and will close by 5 November 2021 (this Friday).
Bookings are to be made through the TryBooking links on the parish website at www.cg.org.au/belconnennorth
