Confirmation Information for Sponsors.

Good afternoon parents,

Today we had a rehearsal for when the students are being confirmed. We have asked that the students share the procedure with their sponsor if possible to help things to run smoothly on Sunday.

Please share this information with your child's sponsor if possible before Sunday.

ROLE OF THE SPONSOR DURING THE ANOINTING WITH CHRISM

After the Laying on of Hands, when invited, the candidates come forward to Fr. Tony, with their sponsor. Each in turn stands before the Fr. Tony with his/her sponsor standing behind.

The sponsor places his/her right hand on the candidate’s right shoulder, saying: “Fr. Tony, I present to you…(the candidate’s Confirmation (Saint)  name). The  Sponsor hands Fr. Tony the Confirmation Card as he/she says this. (These will be given to you when you arrive on Sunday).

Fr Tony, with the sacred Oil of Chrism makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of the candidate as he says:

Fr. Tony: N(Saint). . . be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

The newly confirmed responds . . . . Amen

Fr. Tony touches the cheek of the newly confirmed and says:
“Peace be with you” (as a reminder of the tenderness of God’s love).

The newly confirmed responds . . . . And with your Spirit.

The sponsor leads the candidate back to their seats.


We have given the Candidates have the  booklet to look through if you need further clarification.  

Thank you.

Caitlin

A Message to My Future Self - A Huge Success

Dear Parents, I would just like to say again, thank you to all those parents that were able to come and enjoy our presentations last night. It was wonderful to have so many parents able to make it and to view the amazing work of these students. A big thank you to Alie Smith for organising the food and drinks - we couldn't have done it without you! A massive thank you to Mrs Amie Meyer for all that she has done to make this idea a reality. The success of this event has ensured that this will become an annual event at OLC and it wouldn't have been possible without Mrs Meyer's ideas and dedication to helping the students achieve. Thank you for my lovely gift and kind words, they are both appreciated. Have a wonderful day, Mrs Delane

Cheers! Mr Jones 22 nd March, 2018 Dear Parents, RE: Chrism Mass – Tuesday 27 th March We will be travelling to Bunbury on Tuesday 27 th March to participate in the Chrism Mass that is held at the Bunbury Cathedral. Mass will begin at 11am and will conclude at approximately 12.15pm. A short tour of the Cathedral will follow.

The sign of Confirmation is the Oil of Chrism, the most sacred of the oils. During the Confirmation ceremony, a person is anointed on the forehead with Chrism. As the oil is absorbed by the body, it is a sign of how the confirmed person is filled with the ...
