We continue to recognize members of the Class of 2024 and Class of 2025 who received the sacrament of Confirmation at their respective parishes the past few months! We celebrate our juniors and sophomores who renewed the promises that were made at their Baptism and took another step to the fullness of initiation in the Catholic Church!
“Lord, you send out your spirit to touch the hearts of all people, so that they may believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent. Look kindly at all candidates for Confirmation as they listen to your voice. Open their hearts to your spirit and bring to fulfillment the good work that you have begun in them. Teach us to appreciate what is holy in others, and to be patient with what we do not understand. Deepen our faith in the gospel and help us to pass it on by our example. We pray that you will continue to guide us and sustain us. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.” #Prep #Faith ✝🕊
