Our Confirmation Day

On our Confirmation day we went to the church and sat in the reserved seats at the top of the church.  Bishop Diarmuid Martin celebrated the ceremony with Fr. Reburn, Fr. Malone and Fr. Fingleton.  Shauna sang the response to the psalm very well.  Annmarie and Amy read prayers of the faithful.  Serena and Ciara carried up gifts.  We sang all the nice hymns that we had practised for weeks.  4th and 3rd class were up in the gallery singing along with us.  They sang very beautifully.

All our artwork and Confirmation books were on display in the church.  We received lovely Confirmation certificates after we were confirmed.

After the ceremony was ended lots of girls got pictures taken with the Bishop of Dublin.  We all went over to the parish hall with our family and friends for tea and sandwiches.  Afterwards we went out with our families for something to eat.  Then I went around to visit our other relatives and they gave us lots of gifts and cards.  We took lots of pictures with our family and friends.  We really enjoyed our day.  It was really good.
