A Note From

Rev. Joe Koyickal

Congratulations & God’s Blessings

to our Confirmation Children

 

Let us offer our warmest Congratulations & Blessings to our children who have received the Sacraments of Confirmation & First Holy Communion Saturday at the Cathedral. There were 4 children from Ss Simon & Jude & 15 children from Ss Mary & Joseph. It was a beautiful celebration!

 

Dear Children, Congratulations! This is a beautiful & important step in your journey of faith. By receiving the Body & Blood of Jesus for the first time, & by being sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation, you have opened your hearts more fully to God’s grace & love. I pray that you always remain close to Jesus, who now dwells within you in a very special way. May you continue to grow in Jesus’s love, feel His presence with you & walk in His light. May Jesus guide & direct you in what you say & do every day. Be kind & good to each other. Listen to your parents & your teachers. Come to Mass every weekend.

 

Dear Parents and Families, accompany these children on their journey of faith by your example. Your love, your dedication, & your example have brought your children to this sacred moment. I appreciate & thank you for your commitment. Now more than ever, they will look to you to show them what it means to live a life of faith & love. Teach them by your words, yes, but even more powerfully, by your actions. Let them see in you the joy of prayer, the power of love, the strength of forgiveness, the beauty of the Mass, & the peace that comes from trusting in God & following His will. 

 

Please continue to nurture their faith through your daily witness & through ongoing learning together as a family. The seeds of faith planted today will only bear fruit if they are watered with love, patience, & prayer. We, your parish family, are here to support you on this journey. Let us walk together in faith, always trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit & the intercession of our Blessed Mother.

 

A very special thanks to Donette Clark, Jamie Burns, Jodi Rowe, & the whole team of dedicated Catechists, who really worked hard to prepared these children for these sacraments.

 

With Blessings of Peace and Joy always!

 

Fr. Joe
