Confirmation ... Westport Parish Contact the Parish Office @ 098-28871 About Confirmation St. Mary's Church Confirmation is the Sacrament by which the baptised receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through ancient rituals and words, God sends his Holy Spirit to give us the strength needed to put into practice the message of Jesus in every aspect of our lives. Christians have held that when the Holy Spirit comes, God gives us the gifts of: • being wise, • increased knowledge, especially of spiritual things, • the ability to judge between right and wrong, • understanding how and why things might be as they are, • courage to live life well, • holiness to become more what God intends us to be, • respect for God. These gifts result in the fruits of the Holy Spirit. We become: • more loving, • more joyful, • more at peace, • more patient, • kinder, • better, • faithful, • gentle, • and contented people. Each person’s ability to embrace these affects depends on his or her openness to the sacrament and willingness to accept it as God’s personal gift. You Shall Be My Witnesses is a Confirmation preparation programme based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The programme is designed as a resource to parishes. It offers support, encouragement and a challenge as well as an invitation to parents to become more actively involved in the faith life of their children as they prepare for Confirmation. The programme runs over four nights. The parents help facilitate small group activities with the young people on the themes listed below. During the course of each session the parent leaders facilitate discussion/activities. You Shall be My Witnesses explores the themes of: What it means to Belong to the Catholic Church; What we, as Catholics, Believe; How Being a Confirmed Catholic impacts and reflects on how we live our lives; and Who we Become as a Confirmed Christian. As stated, the four sessions are run by parents with the help of the parish community and parish priest.

We opened in 2019 with our first Junior Infants Class. We are currently located at Westport Woods, The Quay, Westport, Co. Mayo, F28 E6N4. As an Educate Together School, we are equality based, child-centred, democratically run and co-educational. Like any many other schools in Ireland, Educate Together schools are state-funded and teach the National Curriculum. They are non-fee-paying schools and are open to students of all backgrounds. They are co-educational and have no school uniforms. But they are much more than that: Educate Together schools work hard to instil a sense of equality and justice in students. They embrace the input of parents, students, staff and the wider community to improve the school in every way possible. They are committed to enabling students to achieve their full potential. All students are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their identity. Educate Together schools put students at the heart of all policies and practices. All children have equal access to school and no one religion or worldview is given priority over another in Educate Together schools.
