Dear Parents,
Please join me in congratulating our 8th graders who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Saturday! They have been “sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit!” This is an important step in their faith journey, and they were able to reach this point thanks to the loving support of their families and teachers.
It is our hope that they are now united more firmly to Christ; have a strengthened bond to the Church; and possess a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ. How appropriate that they took this step in their faith journey just one month ahead of Pentecost–which is considered the “birthday” of the Church. Pentecost is the day the apostles were granted the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong
driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they
were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And
they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak
in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
I hope that we as parents, along with our newly-confirmed 8th graders, will continue to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, especially as we continue along this Easter Season. We strive to be positive examples of love, kindness, peace, patience, courage, and faithfulness, and live out our St. Peter’s KEYS!
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
