Confirmation candidates at St. Stephen’s, Hollywood.

On the ninth day of Christmas
It’s a blessing to recall
Nine for confirming
Eight father’s unioners
Seven tots a-toiling
Six great Granadians
Five Lambeth friends!
Four priests a-partying
Three mitered angels
Two cuddling canons
And wedging prayers into the Western Wall.
