Sacrament of Confirmation Mass
Confirmation is a Sacrament of Initiation and renews the promises made at baptism. In Confirmation we recognise the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit and pray that we will always be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Congratulations to students from our parish who are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday:
Brock Downey, Owen Heffer, Charlie Kellahan, Alexander Rees, George Ridley, Tyler Wilson, Charlotte Foster, Cruze Loudon, Olivia Mangelsdorf, Elise McCubben, Logan Petti, Mia Pettit, Grace Morell, Flynn Rees, Joe Quade, Claudia Hopper, Lily Judd and Mackayla Kelly-Erdman.
Thank you to the parents who participated in the program and to Mrs Haworth, Mrs Daniher, Mrs Mangelsdorf, Mrs Manchur and Father Emil for their generousity and dedication in preparing the children for this Sacrament.
All families are most welcome to attend the Sacrament of Confirmation Mass this Sunday the 9th of September at 9.30am.
Oh Holy Spirit,
You are the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity.
You are the Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to them in all things.
Spirit of wisdom and understanding, enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries of the universe in relation to eternity.
Spirit of right judgment and courage, guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision to follow Jesus' way of love.
Spirit of knowledge and reverence, help us to see the lasting value of justice and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another.
May we respect life as we work to solve problems of family and nation, economy and ecology.
Spirit of God, spark our faith, hope and love into new action each day. Fill our lives with wonder and awe in your presence which penetrates all creation.
Amen
