Confirmation Class

The Confirmation Class for 2003 met on Sunday evenings in The Rectory. The Confirmation itself was on Sunday, 23rd November at 11.00 a.m. in Christ Church, Drinagh. This was probably the first time a confirmation service had been held in Christ Church. As always the church and grounds looked impeccable for the special occasion.

Each year a group of our young people are prepared for their confirmation by undertaking a course of study, reflection and fun,

The course consists of Bible Study, exploring the basics of the Christian faith, learning about our worship, discovering the role we may play in the life of the church, and discussing how our faith influences our decision making. We do this through a variety of means, including games, videos, activities and visits.

The course includes a Saturday of activities with study, games and lunch. After the Confirmation we are planning a fun day away.

Stepping Stones
Our post-confirmation group is known as Stepping Stones . We had a day out with some other young people from the parish at a local Outdoor Education Centre in late October, 2002. Among our activities were orienteering, games, puzzles, kayaking and archery. (see below) More recently we wnet tenpin bowling in Cork and watched a movie - In America.

Stepping Stones greeted the congregation as they arrived at Drimoleague on Palm Sunday with a dramatic presentation of the events of the first Palm Sunday:
