Confirmation Pledge

The Irish Bishop’s Drugs Initiative offer ‘The Confirmation Commitment’ a resource for parishes that enables the candidate and their parents to make a personal commitment to lead a healthy lifestyle. During the Pledge Ceremony, the candidate, with the support of their parents, commits to a Healthy Life style, receives a Spirit Band ( Silicone Band) with one of the Gifts on it and then presents a Bookmark with a special Prayer to Sponsor in appreciation of their support.
There is also an option for
• Parent’s Talk at Confirmation Meetings (Hints & Tips & importance of The Pledge/Commitment)
• Age appropriate talk to Confirmation Class as part of preparation on the challenges of transition to secondary school
