Please keep our 8th graders in your prayers as they fulfill the sacrament of confirmation this Saturday at the Cathedral of St. Paul. This is the culmination of hard work that they started as 7th graders, and we are so proud of their growth in the Catholic faith.

"Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world." - the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.

Let's pray that our 8th graders heed this call by actively serving others as time moves forward. Congratulations 8th graders! We are so proud of you!
