Application for Enrolment for Confirmation 2027

Our Faith Commitment
We as parents/guardians hereby request that our child be enrolled to receive the sacrament of Confirmation in Sandyford Parish. We promise to do our best to create a Christian environment in our home and to renew our own commitment to the faith of the Catholic Church, in particular through attendance at Mass. We accept, as we did when our child was baptised catholic, that the primary responsibility in handing on the faith is ours as parents/guardians. We want to accept the help of our local church and school in living up to this responsibility.
You MUST know the name of the Parish where your child was baptised and the DATE of the BAPTISM in order to complete this registration form. Candidates MUST be baptised according to the rites of the Catholic Church.
