pastor's CornerFebruary 14, 2021Dear Friends and Families St. Vincent de Paul,
This week we are proud to announce the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation here at St. Vincent de Paul. Many of us will remember very clearly that wonderful day when we received the Third person of the Trinity called the “Holy Spirit.” This was also a day when the bishop would come and inspect the records in the sacramental books of the parish. He would make sure that all records were in perfect order.
The bishop would inquire from the students if they were ready to answer the questions related to the sacrament such as, “How many persons are there in the one God?” What are the seven gifts of The Holy Spirit?
I can recall as a youth how nervous I and my fellow classmates were when the bishop would test our knowledge of the Sacrament of Confirmation. I was afraid the bishop would call on me to answer such questions and prayed that he would call on someone else! But I also remember how excited I was to be confirmed.
The girls were dressed like brides to be and the boys looked very dapper in their white shirts and red ties (that they pulled at when they were nervous).
We believed we were all Soldiers of Christ, willing to defend the Holy Catholic Church. The bishop would even give us a little smack on the cheek to remind us that we were ready to defend the Church and to sacrifice our lives for Christ. Although times have changed since I was a young student, the Sacrament of Confirmation has not and its purpose is still the same. As a way for all of us to confirm our Christian identity, I would ask each of you to pray for our wonderful young boys and girls who are willing to be identified that they are Catholic Christians as they prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Amen
