Sacrament of Confirmation
Parishes have been notified of a change that Bishop Philip Egan is introducing to the celebration of Confirmation from 2025 onwards. The Sacrament of Confirmation in the Pastoral Areas will be celebrated once every two years. The venue for Confirmation will alternate between the Cathedral and a large church in the Pastoral Area. The next year Confirmation will be celebrated for Basingstoke Pastoral Area – Holy Ghost & St Bede’s, St Joseph’s, Sacred Heart, Hook & St Michael’s, Tadley – will be 2026. The Sacrament of Confirmation that year will be celebrated at St John’s Cathedral, Portsmouth. In light of this change, new Confirmation programmes won’t begin in September as they normally would. Details of the next Pastoral Area Confirmation programmes will follow in due course.
