This Week
Fifth Sunday of Easter
Confirmation is the Beginning
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
We joyfully extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to our Confirmation candidates who will have received the Sacrament of Confirmation this weekend. Your “yes” to the gifts of the Holy Spirit is a powerful witness to our entire parish community. Courage, do not be afraid the scriptures says this 365 times. We are grateful for those who have committed, and are ready to continue in their faith journey in the next stages of their lives.
Confirmation is not the end, but a new beginning. The Holy Spirit now strengthens you to live your faith boldly and joyfully in your families, schools, workplaces, and communities. You are called to be light in the world—proclaiming Christ not only with your words, but through your actions, your love, and your daily choices.
As you continue walking with Jesus, remember that He is always with you, guiding and strengthening you. Stay close to Him in prayer, the Eucharist, and through your involvement in the life of the Church. Seek His will in all things, and trust that the Spirit who has sealed you will continue to lead you.
We invite all parishioners to keep these young people in your prayers. May they grow ever deeper in their Catholic faith, and may the fire of the Holy Spirit burn brightly in their hearts for years to come.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, who have taught the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
God bless.
