Congratulations to the Confirmation Class of 2019
The Holy Spirit is alive in your hearts - we cannot wait to see what gifts he blesses you with!
In the meantime here is a beautiful prayer to all of you...

Dear Young People,

My joyful hope is to see you keep running the race before you, outstripping all those who are slow or fearful. Keep running, “attracted by the face of Christ, whom we love so much, whom we adore in the Holy Eucharist and acknowledge in the flesh of our suffering brothers and sisters. May the HOLY SPIRIT urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us.”
