Confirmation Retreat

I am home for the weekend to help out with Saturday’s Confirmation Retreat at Christ the King.  I enjoy coming back every year; it’s always a rewarding and spiritually uplifting experience to help out.  This year, we have students from Holy Trinity Parish in West Harwich joining us—making for an extra big group!

I remember my own Confirmation Retreat, some six years ago (yikes!).  It was a day filled with the Spirit.  You hear how the Spirit has worked in the lives of the team members, and you learn how to grow.  It truly is a great day that allows the candidates to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in April with the theme, Anchored in the Holy Spirit.  All of the students have the opportunity to celebrate Reconciliation, too.  The day concludes with the Celebration of Mass, where we will gather around the table with the rest of our parish family.

Please pray for the Confirmation Candidates, team, and all involved in Saturday’s Confirmation Retreat.  May it be a spiritually enriching day for all.

Come Holy Spirit!
