CONFIRMATION:
Bishop Leo O’Reilly will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation in St. Anne’s Church on next Saturday, 7th March at 12pm. There are 85 children from the parish receiving the sacrament so space will be limited in the Church. The candidate, their sponsor and their parents/guardians are all that will be able to sit in the reserved seats. The reserved seats will take up two thirds of the total area so other guests needing a seat are asked to come early.
