Presentation to the Parish Community
On Sunday the Confirmation candidates attended the 10.30am Parish Mass at St Catherine’s. Father John welcomed the students and their families. Thanks to Megan Moore who came to mass to welcome and support the candidates and their families.
After communion the students read this prayer to the congregation...
Holy Spirit, you are the giver of many gifts which God wants to give me personally.
Open my heart and my mind as I prepare for Confirmation.
Help me to know that you are confirming all the goodness that I am, and all the goodness that I will become.
Increase my desire to know and follow Jesus as his disciple with a grateful and courageous heart.
Amen
