Rite of Enrollment

This past Wednesday, our 7th graders celebrated the Rite of Enrollment for the sacrament of Confirmation.  Each student was enrolled as someone who would like to complete their initiation into the Catholic faith by this third sacrament of initiation.  Having been baptized as infants and nourished for the past five years with the gift of the Holy Eucharist, these young men and women are now ready to 'confirm' the promises of baptism and receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to help them be bold disciples of Christ.

The 7th graders and their sponsors commit to the sacrament of Confirmation.

We received word last week that Monsignor Mark Rivituso, Vicar General for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, will be with us on Friday, April 10th to confer this sacrament on behalf of Archbishop Carlson.  The Confirmation Mass at 7:00pm is open to all parishioners and is an opportunity for all members of our community to be renewed in their own commitment to Christ.  Please join us!
