St. Mary’s students were confirmed by Archbishop Emeritus Elden Curtiss. As Catholics, we are first baptized into the faith and then as we grow in body, so too, do we grow in spirit. This is what Confirmation is all about. The faith that was given us is now confirmed and made strong. Those who are confirmed take responsibility for their faith, sharing their faith and their own spiritual destiny. For example, instead of being given a name and sponsor like at baptism, they now make those choices.
Maria Connealy chose her brother Jacob as her sponsor. Jacob is both an alumnus and currently a seminarian with our Archdiocese. Following Mass, the Archbishop and Father Del took photos with the newly confirmed. For more photos click here.
