This weekend we will celebrate the first of two Masses in which students will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. The children and their families have prepared well for this very special occasion. Confirmation seals the gift of the Holy Spirit given at Baptism. It reminds the candidates that they belong to the family of God. Confirmation marks the candidates with an indelible character. This means they will be changed for life. They are drawn into a deeper understanding of their mission as Christians. We continue to pray for these children and their families.
