Ceremony of Light

Sixth Class Service of Light Ceremony

Form 6 and Form 6.1 classes celebrated the Ceremony of Light on the 7th of February in Rathmines Church. The Ceremony of Light is a pre-Confirmation ceremony and is an important event in preparing the children for Confirmation.

A key part of the ceremony is when parents hand the lighted Baptismal candle to their child, acknowledging that their child is now ready to become a responsible Christian.

It was a beautiful ceremony and the boys were fabulous. We want to say a special thank you to David and Fr. Gus for their help in preparing the boys for the ceremony.

Below are pictures of the boys busily preparing art works to display on their Confirmation Day. The boys are excited and looking forward to their big day.
