Service of Light - 6th Class Girls

The 6th Class of the Girls School in Johnstown will celebrate their Service of Light on Tuesday 23rd February at 8pm in Johnstown Church. At the service, the Baptism Candle will be formally handed over to the girls by their parents, a symbol that in the years to come, they will take responsibility for their own faith. The Baptism Candle, a symbol of the child's faith, was entrusted to the parents and godparents at the celebration of Baptism. The Service of Light is part of the preparations for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which the girls will receive on Friday 5th March at 11.00am.
