The Spirit was alive and soaring at our Confirmation Retreat! We spent the day equipped with our Compasses: the Creed and Our Father exploring the truths of being Catholic. We learned about the symbols that are in Greek and Latin used in our Church environment that hold so much meaning. We affirmed God’s love for us is an Agape Love, a love that seeks nothing in return. We spent quiet time with Jesus in the Chapel meditating on the great mysteries and gifts of our faith in the Sacraments. During our Ceremony of Light with our parents we accepted responsibility for our faith. Together with Fr. Rick, our families and you our St. Thomas family, we celebrated the gift of the Eucharist. Continue to pray for us as we continue our preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday May 7, at 2pm at the Cathedral. “Come Holy Spirit!” Click here for more photos.
We ask you to remember in prayer our young Confirmation Candidates who are on retreat this weekend. May the Holy Spirit continue to set their hearts ablaze, living out their Baptismal promises.
