Confirmation: What Are We Hoping For?
Confirmation is a big moment for the teens, their families, and our parish. Confirmation, like Baptism and Eucharist, is an initiation sacrament. It deepens a person's membership in the Church and strengthens the person with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Our hope as a parish family is that our members will live their daily lives in a way that will be noticed by others...
We hope that people will wonder about why you are the way you are.
We hope that people will wonder about your joyful approach to life.
We hope that people will wonder why you work hard at things without complaining.
We hope that people will wonder why you are generous.
We hope that people will wonder why you are kind.
When people wonder about the way you are, amazing things can happen. Many people in our country wondered about a high school basketball player who was moved to do something incredible during a game. Click on this video to see what happened...

Let's think about this video for a minute...
Jonathan Montanez acted in a way that made a lot of people wonder in amazement. His action was simple. It only took a few seconds of his time, but the impact on our nation was huge. CBS News covered the story!
When he was asked why he did it, he responded with a Bible reference: "I was raised to treat others how you want to be treated." That's sounds a lot like Jesus stating the golden rule in Matthew 7:12, "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you."
When we live in a faith-filled way, great things can happen. You can make great things happen too with simple acts of kindness! That is our hope for you.
