Confirmation in Newtownhamilton
Eleven young people from the new Parish Grouping of Keady, Armaghbreague, Derrynoose and Newtownhamilton were confirmed on Wednesday 21st June 2017 in St John’s Parish, Newtownhamilton.
Due to a vacancy the Confirmation was organised by the outgoing Rural Dean, the Rev Paul McAdam, and assisted by his successor, the Rev Malcolm Kingston (Rector of St Mark’s, Armagh) and the Rev Peter Smith (Curate Assistant of St Mark’s, Armagh).
Friends and family gathered to witness this great event and all the young people were congratulated in the manor and dignity that the occasion deserved. The Archbishop took time from his busy schedule to talk to the young people about their future and now saying ‘yes’ to the Lord in everyday life during their new Christian future. The Rev Malcolm Kingston congratulated the young people on their knowledge and commented that all going forward for confirmation were ahead of the game and able to recite the Apostles’ Creed before being asked to learn it as part of their preparation.
