Help Identifying

There was a black and white group photo on the front page of the Tower News. I cannot say that I can accurately verify the people or location featured in the photograph. However, the garments worn by the persons seem to suggest that they may belong to a religious group. The man in the middle looks like he’s wearing a black coat and some type of cravat? The youths at his side appear to be wearing robes over their shirts and ties. Girls in the front row are wearing the same light-colored uniform, the style of which looks similar to another group photo that I came across when I did a reverse image search on Google.

The girls in the picture appeared to be around the same age group, with similar hairstyles too. I’m not really familiar with the process of a Catholic confirmation ceremony, or what takes place afteward.
