Confirmation marks a point in the Christian journey at which the participation in the life of God’s people inaugurated at baptism is confirmed by the bishop by the laying on of hands, and in which those who have been baptised affirm for themselves, the faith into which they were baptised and their intention to live a life of responsible and committed discipleship. Through prayer and the laying on of hands by the bishop, the Church also asks God to give them the power through the Holy Spirit to enable them to live in this way. Bishop Joe was in attendance.
