As Catholics, we are blessed with the sacraments, tangible signs of God's grace working within us. Among these, the Sacrament of Confirmation holds a special place as it deepens our connection to the Holy Spirit and strengthens our commitment to live out our faith boldly and authentically.
In the journey of faith, Confirmation is often referred to as the "Sacrament of Christian maturity." It is through this sacrament that the graces we received in Baptism are sealed and strengthened, empowering us to become true witnesses of Christ in the world. The Holy Spirit, who descended upon the apostles at Pentecost, comes upon each confirmand with gifts that guide and inspire us in our daily lives.
As your pastor, I, Fr. Vijay, would like to take this opportunity to encourage all the youth and adults of our Cluster parishes—Most Holy Rosary, Most Precious Blood, St. Anthony, St. Ann, and St. George—to consider receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Whether you are a young person approaching this milestone or an adult who has not yet received this sacrament, now is the perfect time to take this important step in your spiritual journey.
