Dear Friends:
On Nov. 4, twelve teens of our parish will receive the sacrament of confirmation at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. We congratulate them for the time, study, and efforts they made in preparing for this sacrament over the past several years. Let us pray for them to continue to grow in their faith in the future and that they may receive much grace during this special moment. We thank the religious educations teachers who led them in this process. They will now be fully initiated as members of the Catholic Church and can serve as sponsors for others receiving sacraments. We also congratulate their parents in guiding their children to a greater understanding and living out of their faith.
If there any young adults among you who did not receive confirmation and would now like to do so, please contact the parish office so we can help them in doing so. They may be able to join the OCIA group at St. Anthony parish which meets weekly and then receive Confirmation next Pentecost. May God continue to bless our church with many new faithful disciples of Christ.
Sincerely yours,
Fr. Lance
