Dear friends,
On Monday, April 29th, we heard Bishop Kicanas say "N. be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit". We were blessed to have 74
(53 youth and 21 adults) members of our community receive the sacrament of Confirmation. During the celebration, we all prayed that God send his Holy Spirit upon all the candidates and be their protector and guide. We asked God to give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgement and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, to fill them with spirit and wonder of awe in God's presence.
I am grateful to Sharon Kolosseus and Patti Carrasco for their guidance, love, and support they showed their confirmation students. We are blessed to have them on our team. As they continue to plant seeds of holiness in our youth, young adults or adults in our community, may the Lord continue to bless them and bless us through him.
This weekend, our St.Albert Newman Parish community was blessed to witness the First Communions of 58 of our youth. What a special day for out little ones to receive the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ for the first time. This is a moment for us all to rejoice with them and encourage them to continue pursuing their dreams and to include God in their lives. I am thankful for Dr. Enedina Vazquez's leadership as well as all the catechist's who helped grow our children's faith this past year. May God continue to bless you all.
Estimados Amigos,
El Lunes, 29 de Abril, 74 personas de nuestra cominundad fueron confirmados por el obispo Gerald Kicanas. Fue un dia en alegria per ellos, sus familias, y para todas nosotros como iglesia. 53 jovenes, 21 adultos que estan comprometidos con su fe para seguir la direccion del Espiritu Santo. Todas oramos por ellos para que Dios mandara su Santo Espirtu sobre ellos para ser sus ayudantes y guias. Pedimos por el Espirtu de sabiduria y entiendiemiento, y el espiritu de consejo y fortaleza, el espiritu de cienca y piedad, que los llenara de temor de Dios en su presencia.
Este fin de semana tabienn es un fin the semana lleno con gozo para nuestra cominudad ya que 58 ninos and ninas estan reciebiendo su Primera Comuninon. Nos alegramos con ellos, y que han estado aprendiendo sobre la fe, y la importancia de tener a Dios en sus vidas. Que dios los siga bendieciendo para que perserveren en la vida y son hombres y mujeres de bien un dia.
