Confirmation

Confirmation for Young People

At Baptism parents and Godparents make promises to God on behalf of their child. When a child is in Year 6 they are old enough to make these promises themselves.

Confirmation for Adults

There is no age limit on Confirmation. If you would like to explaore more about the Christian faith we run Adult preperation sessions every year. Signup to enquire and we will invite you to adult session when they begin.

Expectations for Young People

We believe that our young people must understand what they are choosing, so there is preparation before confirmation.

We do not run traditional confirmation classes, but teach about the faith within the Shine Services.

Everyone being Confirmed must be baptised already. We will do a Baptism in the Shine service on 17th Jan in St Elvans who aren’t baptised already.

We expect new confirmation candidates to attend the Shine services from the autumn till the confirmation in April.

Shine Services

1st Sunday of the Month 6pm at St Fagans

3rd Sunday of the Month 6pm at St Elvans

Shine at St Fagans

During Shine at St Fagans we hold an informal Mass where the young people take an active part.

Within each service, we split into three or four groups to explore the message of the day. These involve crafts, active sessions, prayers and discussions. At the same time, the adults in the service explore the message through discussions.

Each of the services follows the Christian year, and they build together to explore the essentials of Christianity.
