Well it was nice because all these years of going to religion was leading up to this special moment and now I feel like I am part of God's family in the Church and now I'm officially part of the Church community. Of course now I feel holy and happy.

Thanks for everything over the years.

What impressed me is you and the bishop making the rehersal and the ceremony a fun happening event, not something cold and austire and very distant. We shouted our responses and sang our hearts out and laughed (in church of all places) at the Bishop's and your jokes. I know that the Holy Spirit was there and blessed all of us in a special way.

Thank you for everything you have done for my daughter and me. I am so glad that you have made the Church a living breathing entity and is alive and well in the 21st century.

The confirmation ceremony was very meaningful to me. The Bishop was funny and interesting. The service was very beautiful. I am now an accepted part of the Church and that means a lot to me. My family really enjoyed the ceremony and their very proud of me. I won't be seeing you at church this week because I am going to church at Our Lady of Hope.

Thank you…Thank you…Thank you.

I and my family thought it was the best Confirmation ceremony we have ever attended! The Bishop and his message made it very special. I liked when he mentioned about when the kids were so small and we helped them make the sign of the cross for the first time, it brought back that moment which of course is a beautiful memory we can hold dear as a parent. I enjoyed the way he spoke of his upbringing in the church with humor, yet he asked the kids to bring their light into a broken world and fill it with hope; therefore explaining the salt of the earth part of the Gospel.

The religious education staff has given my child a wonderful experience and boosted his confidence in himself as a person by accepting him and celebrating his accomplishments and encouraging his continued faith in God.

I think asking the parents at practice to pray for the children as they were being confirmed really made a difference as the music and the sanctity of the confirmation process were able to be enjoyed.

I have to tell you my son was so happy that day and has been the rest of the week. Really a true happiness that he himself is aware of. I am so happy that he appreciates the gift of this sacrament in his life.

Many thanks again to you, Meg, Vaness, and the priests of the parish. We are so blessed as parishioners to have all of you in our lives.

I was so happy to be confirmed and remember smiling the whole time. The mass was really nice I liked the Bishop and the way he spoke to us with humor and yet serious about our bringing the light of hope into the world. He seemed to have a nice personality.

Thank you Father Ralph for supporting me throughout the Confirmation process.
I look forward to seeing you Sunday also.

The confirmation was wonderful! It seems like my son has really grown up a lot in just the past year. The confirmation was meaningful to us because we felt closer to God as a family. I know he feels closer to God also because he went to Church happily this evening.
