Dear Parents& Guardians,

We are all looking forward to Confirmation 2022 and preparation is now underway.

Given the ever changing situation regarding Covid-19 it is challenging to plan with absolute certainty for the sacrament this year.  

At this point we hope to celebrate the sacrament on  Tuesday February 22nd, and Wednesday 23rd February 2022.

While society in general  can, it would seem,  look forward to a greater easing of restrictions; our schools   must still operate  within the narrower confines of   ‘pods’ and ‘bubbles’.

In planning for the Confirmation Ceremony we will therefore operate   according to school guidelines, and make every effort to reduce   the possibility   of any negative impact on our schools

To help reduce  the level of interaction,  we propose to  have three  separate ceremonies .

Tuesday February  22nd, Rathmore Church  11a.m:           Holy Family National School.

Tuesday  February 22nd, Gneeveguilla Church 1p.m          Gneeveguilla National School

Wednesday  February 23rd,  Knocknagree Church 11a.m Knocknagree & Hollymount Ns

 

As with the  multiple ceremonies,  we will also ask you cooperation in limiting the   numbers attending  again this year. The following suggestion will ensure that all families will operate under the same system.

1.     This ceremony will limited to students  and their immediate families (ie Parents /Guardians and siblings)

2.     Each family are allowed to have five guests (eg that could be grandparents and a sponsor, but  that decision is up to each family.

3.     Candidate to wear the school uniform on the day .

 

We look forward to celebrating the sacrament with you and your families, thank you for understanding in this matter.

Kind Regards,

  Fr Pat  

 

PLEASE NOTE: The ceremony will be subject to Covid restrictions in place at the time and could also potentially be changed on short notice.
