Today Bishop McIntyre confirmed 132 students and 5 adults at the 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. Masses.  Both ceremonies were well-attended and the Bishop expressed the importance of the sacrament with great clarity and asked but two simple questions to the relieved students (and sponsors I might add, since he asked the students if they preferred their sponsors answer the questions instead and all their hands shot up immediately...)  We are grateful to all who contributed to the blessings received today & ask for a special prayer for our newly confirmed as they face many challenges in their young lives and have need of the Holy Spirit more than ever!
