Message from the parish!
​
Dear Confirmation Candidates,
Thank you for saying yes to this exciting opportunity to grow in your faith and to enter more fully into the life of the Church. We ask that you take this time of preparation and your reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation seriously and with integrity.
Please take time to pray daily, read Scripture and ask the questions that come to mind about faith and the teachings of the Church. These questions matter far more than you might ever realize.
Remember, if there is a question that comes to mind, there is an answer available. As you take the time to draw close to God, know that He is a personal God who cares for you with a love that is unimaginable. As Scripture promises us, if you draw close to God, He promises to draw close to you:
​
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. (James 4: 7-8)
In Christ,
St. Hedwig’s Confirmation Team
