Sacrament of Confirmation
Dear Friend in Christ,
A lot of things have changed around us recently but there is at least one thing that does not change: Jesus is still Alive and is willing to get always closer to you.
Like Samuel, you have answered God ‘s calling by registering yourself for this programme. It is now your responsibility and your mission to fill in the step of Jesus by confirming your status of Priest, Prophet and King received at your Baptism.
During the preparation of the Sacrament of Confirmation, you will be led to a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. You will have the sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus-Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community by participating actively in the services and prayers’ group.
God Bless you and United in Prayer
