Please visit us at www.allsaints.cc Parish Life\Youth Ministry.
Today at 2:00PM, more than 80 young, All Saints parishioners will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at Saint Peter in Chains Cathedral. These Catholics will be supported by their family, friends, Parish, and will each have a Confirmation sponsor to stand with them now and forever. This will be one of the best days ever for those being Confirmed. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit will be heaped upon those Confirmed, as they were upon us at our Confirmation. These Gifts of Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Courage, Right Judgment, Piety, and Wonder & Awe were promised to us by Jesus at the Last Supper, and first bestowed upon the Apostles at Pentecost.
Let us pray that our newly Confirmed will call upon and use these Gifts to grow their Faith, spread their Faith, and Keep their Faith. May God bless our newly Confirmed.
In Today’s First Reading (Isaiah 6:1-8)), we hear the voice of the Lord ask Isaiah “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” Let’s pray that we answer, and let’s pray that the newly Confirmed answer as did Isaiah “…Send me!”

CELEBRATE LIFE AT ALL SAINTS (not the event; the way we live)
God bless you for your extra efforts to Celebrate Life!
So what’s next now that the “event” is complete. Here are a few thoughts:
-Let’s celebrate all the lives we encounter each day. Respecting each individual is not an option that we elect or not elect. Respect each person, every person because they are.
-Let’s continue or start to pray for the unborn. Let’s pray for their mothers and fathers.
-Let’s continue or start to pray for the virtue of chastity.
-Let’s love not judge. Let’s lift, give a hand up, listen, encourage, nurture.
-Let’s be witnesses of our faith.
