Confirmation

age 14 +

An application to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation must be signed by the young person wishing to receive the sacrament, and a parent or guardian.  English Martyrs does not have a bespoke programme for confirmation, rather it prepares children for the sacrament as part of its Faith in Action scheme.  Children preparing for confirmation are expected to fully participate in the scheme which helps them to become more conversant with their faith and to put it into action.
