Congratulations To Our First Communicants and Confirmandi

Last weekend, 24 of our parish youngsters celebrated their First Holy Communion. We welcome and congratulate them! May they always cherish the gift of the Bread of Life to feed every hunger and thirst of their souls and spirits throughout their journeys of faith and life. 

We also extend our sincere thanks to our Catechists, teachers, our Youth Ministry & Formation Director, Mary Schirmer; and the parents, godparents, relatives, and friends who have inspired and helped our First Communicants in achieving this important step in their initiation into the Body of Christ and His sacramental mysteries. Thank you Fr. Leonard and 

Fr. Chris for celebrating this liturgy. And gratitude to Mr. Vaughan for providing the beautiful music. 

They received their Sacrament of Confirmation from Very Reverend Lawrence C. D’Anjou, Vicar General on the Eve of Pentecost. May the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit be unleashed in all their fullness to kindle in each of their hearts the fire of God’s love to enable them to be bold and faithful witnesses to the presence and action of God in their lives. May each one embrace the call to be servant disciples who live their faith out in all that they do and say each day.

The Confirmation Rite ceremony was indeed a special and spiritual experience. We wish you all the best as you continue to grow in the faith. We are extremely proud of all Confirmandi, sponsors, and parents. We extend a sincere thank you to Mary Schirmer and her Faith Formation Team, Catechists, and parents for their hard work, dedication, patience, and commitment to the program. We all enjoyed being part of your student’s growth in the faith.
