6 RITE OF CONFIRMATION COMMUNION HYMN: Panis Angelicus PRESENTATION OF THE CANDIDATES By FR. CARBONARO Candidates STAND; all others SIT Your Excellency, Bishop Maginnis, the parish of Our Lady of the Assumption is honored by the presence of a successor of the apostles. I present to you our sons and daughters who are candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Under the guidance of their parents, guardians and catechists, and with the prayerful support and encouragement of this parish community, they have prepared for this Sacrament of Initiation which was begun at their baptism. From this day forward they are to live as the fully initiated members of the Church they soon will become. I ask that you impose hands upon them and anoint them with the Sacred Chrism, sealing them with the gift of the Holy Spirit. We pray that their participation in the Holy Eucharist with all of us assembled here will strengthen them as witnesses of Christ.
