These last few weeks, our community has celebrated the full initiation of new members into the Church! On March 23, the St. Lawrence School and YFF students were fully initiated into the Church through Confirmation. It was a beautiful liturgy celebrated by Bishop Parkes with standing room only as their loved ones came to support them in this next step to their faith journey. What a joy to see so many young people choosing to continue in the Faith and being filled with the Holy Spirit. At the Easter Vigil, six Catechumens were baptized and confirmed and on Easter Sunday eight more were confirmed into the Church. Again, how joyous to see so many adults and young people seeking out Christ and choosing to answer His call of being a Catholic missionary disciple.

I extend many, many congratulations to them, and let’s continue to pray for their walk with the Lord. A big thank you goes out as well to the families, mothers, fathers, godparents, and sponsors for supporting these newly initiated in the reception of their sacraments. I’m very grateful for our catechists and staff members who worked so hard in preparing them.
Please pray as well for all those presently inquiring about our Catholic faith. May our loving witness assist many more in hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Blessings in Christ,

Fr. Mike Muhr
