Master Monaghan and Master Battersby each gave a parent a lighted candle which they in turn pass to their child.
"The candles we have given to you are a sign of the faith that we are passing to you. It is the most precious gift that we have to give to you.
We will be there to help you as you try to keep the light of faith burning in your life"
As we look forward to the Sacrament of Confirmation we pray: Father, send your Holy Spirit to these, your children, to be their helper and guide.
Give them the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding the Spirit of Right Judgement and Courage,
the Spirit of Knowledge and Reverence.
Fill them with the Spirit of Wonder and Awe in your presence. Amen.
