Post-Confirmation Group
One of the more unique things in Clontarf is the Post-Confirmation Group, in an effort to avoid the traditional loss of young people after Confirmation Clontarf has set up a Bible-Study based group which is held is held monthly on a Sunday morning. This Group is open to anyone who has been confirmed in the past three years. The group uses a book called Fuel, a resource book which is used to explore the relevance of the Bible and how to learn from the ancient Bible stories.
