It is the time of year when many children are getting ready to celebrate their First Communion or Confirmation.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in various churches and parishes in the Diocese of Ossory this year, starting on the 15th January. You can find all the dates for Catholic Confirmation in the Diocese here.
