Sacrament of Confirmation
In the tapestry of faith, there are moments that stand out as pivotal in a young person's spiritual journey. The Sacrament of Confirmation is one such significant milestone in the Catholic tradition. As the children step forward to embrace this sacrament, they are affirming their commitment to their beliefs and embarking on a deeper connection with their faith.
Confirmation marks a moment of empowerment, where these young individuals receive the Holy Spirit's gifts to strengthen and guide them in their Christian walk.
Last Friday the children participated in a Retreat afternoon at St Joseph’s Church in Merimbula, sharing with each other the Saints that they have chosen and how they shared the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Like stained glass windows, the saints allow the light of God to permeate the darkness in the world.
Just as light enters a church through multi-coloured windows,
the lives of saints shine forth "according to their own shade”.
