journey through life. Be with us as we begin our
Lenten journey of faith and love. Help us to grow
closer to You during this special holy season.
Amen.
The Faith Formation Office is a busy place these days! There is much planning and preparing as many youth will receive sacraments this spring, including First Eucharist, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation. Please keep them all in your prayers as they open their minds and hearts to the Holy Spirit, and allow God’s grace to be an even stronger guiding presence in their lives. Blessings to all of our sacramental families!
