Bishop Dennis Sullivan, Pastor Reverend Michael Rush, Parochial Vicors: Rev. Allen Lovell, and Rev. Alvaro Diaz celebrated the mass.
On Tuesday evening, Forty-nine members of the St. Damien's Parish, their sponsors, and families packed St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church to witness them receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Receiving this sacrament is the culmination of two years of religious education preparation. It is considered by the church to be the perfection of Baptism.
The Bishop anoints a parish member with Chrism (a blessed perfumed oil) to signify the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Congratulations to all on a beautiful evening of faith. May we all be inspired to be closer to the Lord.
