Recent days have seen the first groups of young people across the diocese receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation
Bishop Fintan conferred the sacrament on children from Barryroe on Wednesday 12 February.
The ceremonies continue across the diocese until Friday 4 April. There are a number of ceremonies on most days in order to accommodate the number of candidates and their families.
Almost 3,000 candidates are being presented for the sacrament by their parents and schools.
