Fr Keaney PP in Granaghan Parish will offer the 11.00 a.m. mass on Thursday 30th April for all Year 7 pupils from the Parish due to be confirmed on this date. The Confirmation Mass for the Parish children was due to take place on Thursday evening at 5 p.m.
This would have been the last of the three different Confirmation ceremonies for our Year 7 pupils.

We think about all our Year 7 pupils at this time and ask that they continue to pray to the Holy Spirit.
Their confirmation is something we all look forward to celebrating in the future.
“In Confirmation, Jesus fills us with his Spirit
and makes us sharers in his own life and mission…
It is a further spiritual anointing that completes the grace of Baptism and leads us to the Eucharist… the Church prays that we too may receive the gifts and fruits of the Spirit that enable us to help the body of Christ to grow…
The gift of the Holy Spirit, received in the sacrament, enables us in turn to become a gift for others within the communion of the Church… May we who have received this sacrament open our hearts each day to the liberating breath of the Holy Spirit and fan into a flame the gifts we have received for the good of one another, the whole Church and the world in which we live.”
POPE FRANCIS,
General Audiences, St Peter's Square, 23rd Mat to 6th June 2018.
