The church was filled with sponsors, well-wishers and parishioners interested in being part of the occasion. Catholic confirmation is a sacrament that binds recipients more closely to the Church through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Rite involves the laying on of hands and anointing the recipient with chrism (aromatic oil), both done by the Bishop. The following young men and women received Confirmation:
