On 26th February 2022 Bishop Most Rev Dr Peter Paul Saldanha confirmed 82 children at Kirem. Of these, 75 students were from Kirem and the rest were from other parishes.
The candidates have been catechized by Rev Fr Sunil DSouza from December 2021 onwards.
Bishop was welcomed by the members of PPC. Fr Oswald Monteiro gave a formal welcome to the Bishop in the Church. Thereafter Bishop himself catechized the students for nearly 50 minutes. It was followed by solemn confirmation.
Mr and Mrs Stephen DCunha were official witnesses as well as godparents for the students.
