Good morning, Just a couple of reminders for the candidates and prayer buddies as we continue our preparations to celebrate the Sacrament on Saturday 5th August. Bishop's Visit - On Monday 31st August Bishop Gerard Holohan will be coming to meet all of the students and spend some time discussing their preparations. We have been learning a lot about the Fruits and Gifts given by the Holy Spirit, we have looked at the Nine Beatitudes and discussed how they can show these within their own lives as well as writing a procedure on the Rite of Confirmation. During his visit he will be asking all the students (not just candidates) a wide variety of questions about the Sacrament and their preparations. If you can spend some time reviewing these concepts over the coming days with your child that would be great! This will help them to feel confident with any questions! Sashes - Those students that are having their sash done by Hip Pocket will receive it back on Thursday 3rd August.

How to Make Friends – focuses on the art of friendship-making starting with how to introduce yourself, find something in common, and have a conversation. Students also learn what’s
