Confirmation
Children's Confirmation
Confirmation is the next sacrament of initiation after Children's baptism. In the diocese of Broken Bay, this sacrament is generally celebrated when the child is in year 2 at school. The celebration is normally held in June in St Philip Neri and St Leonard's. An information pack is distributed in March each year to Year 2 students at St Philip Neri and those attending catechist classes at Northbridge Primary. Information packs are also available from the parish office, at the rear of the churches and by download from the Access Forms page of this website.
