Confirmation

Last night, at St Mary's in Failsworth 53 Newman Students were confirmed by Bishop John Arnold. They renewed their baptismal vows confirming their belief in God, Jesus and the Church. 

Bishop John reminded them of our School Prayer from Saint John Henry Newman, “God has created me for some definite purpose”, and explained that the Holy Spirit will help guide them in this mission.

The whole of the Newman Family are extremely proud of them all and very grateful to their families, sponsors, friends and the Priests from the Deanery who supported them. A special thank you to Mr Saul from St Edward’s Parish who supported the young people in their preparation and in the evening.

We cannot wait to see the gifts of the spirit in action in our young people and their next steps as disciples of Christ!
