Volume 3, part of the Confirmation trilogy; 2016’s Fiery Times and 2017’s Pentecost Post

Pentecost happened 50 days after Jesus rose from the dead. The apostles saw that Jesus had died so they went in to hiding in fear that they would be killed as well. They hid in a darkened upstairs room. One day the shutters flew open with a powerful gust of wind which filled the whole room where they were sitting in. Next they saw tongues of fire which separated and came to rest on their heads and filled them with courage and gave them the ability to be able to speak in different languages. The apostles were filled with gift of COURAGE, they went outside and told the world about Jesus. Peter went to the heart of the Roman Empire; Rome and told the the Romans about Jesus. He then built a small church which eventually grew into the Vatican City . It is said that Peter`s remains are buried underneath the Vatican.

Confirmation Commitments by Anna & Grace M

For our Confirmation we made some commitments. They could involve saying a couple more prayers at night or in the morning before school, helping your grandparents tidy round their house, picking up litter round the church grounds or tidying and visiting your family’s graves.

In Primary 7 we have carefully chosen our commitments to help us prepare for Confirmation. We used the laptops and made the commitments into a certificate with our signature at the bottom.

Symbols of the HOLY SPIRIT by Aoife & Darcey

There are three symbols of the Holy Spirit
They are Fire, Wind and a Dove
Fire: Fire is a powerful Symbol of the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost Sunday the holy spirit, in the form of fire, came into the building where Jesus’ Apostles where hiding and touched each one on the head without burning them.
Wind: Wind is also a powerful symbol of the Holy spirit. When the Apostles were in hiding on Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit burst open the shudders, in the form of wind.
Dove: The Dove is a peaceful symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Fire—a powerful symbol of the Holy Spirit
