Confirmation

At our Confirmation Celebration Party candidates shared their experience with the gathering at St Francis Xavier Hall. 

Melissa Skibola

-41Good afternoon, for those of you who do not already know me, my name is Melissa Skibola.  I am in year 6 at Cammeray Public School.  This year being my last year of primary school has gone really quickly.  I cannot believe it is nearly over.  It has been an incredibly busy year for me with

  • Loads of homework
  • Big projects at school like our Night of Notables
  • School Representative Council Duties
  • Taking care of our first puppy
  • Club netball grand finals to be won!!
  • Finding a high school to attend

And last but by no means least my Confirmation.

What a gathering of our Confirmation candidates at the newly refurbished and renovated Hall at St Francis Xavier Lavender Bay!

We were graced with Bishop Terry Brady's presence and around 250 people to prepare for the great event next Sunday.

We were inspired by the witness talks of three young people:  Stephanie Silva a 15 year old from Loreto;  Matheus Cardoso an 11 year old Confirmation candidate; and Georgina King, 16 from Ascham School.  Here are their talks.
