The Sacrament of Confirmation is where the gifts of the Holy Spirit fully come alive in response to our “yes” to God’s invitation to this great sacrament. While your parents chose through Baptism to raise you in the faith, you are now being asked to take your faith on for yourself. This decision should not be made lightly, and so the Church asks that both you and your parents participate in the preparation as you journey toward Confirmation. This preparation is no longer taught in the schools and will be all done through the Pastoral team of our Family of Parishes.
As parents, you have the incredible opportunity of journeying with your child as they prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Pastoral Team is committed to journeying with you as you help your child prepare for this great Sacrament. With topics like how to make good decisions, relationships, prayer, the Eucharist, and finding your mission, it is our hope that this program will enable you to talk to your child about their experience of faith and to foster faith-based conversations with your family.
Candidates, you have the opportunity to learn and grow in your faith as you prepare to welcome the Holy Spirit in your life in a new and powerful way. We’re excited to help you not only learn more but come to know and experience God who has so many good things in store for you.
We look forward to sharing this time with you and your family. We are honoured to be able to journey with your family toward this great celebration of faith.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our Pastoral Minister, Lucia, at ext. 5 or lcosta@dol.ca
PARENT MEETING IS ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2023 AT 7 PM AT HOLY NAME OF JESUS PARISH HALL. ALL DETAILS WILL BE DISCUSSED THEN.
