PREPARATION COURSE FOR ADULTS TO RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
For the Adult Catholics who have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation, special catechism classes are conducted to prepare them to receive the Sacrament.
There are approximately 5 Confirmation Preparation courses organized in a year. The online preparation course consists of 10 sessions conducted once a week for two hours each session. Before the reception of the Sacrament, you will need to attend the online Retreat and Examination of Conscience. On completion of the preparation and the Retreat, we will request the neighbouring Parishes to assist in conducting the Sacrament of Confirmation.
