Thank you Bishop Zinkula for your reverent celebration of the Confirmation and the good homily reminding us of our baptismal call to be witnesses of the Risen Lord All of our confirmation candidates looked great! Thank you Sister Peggy Duffy, Mr Marvin Wellman, and Ms Madeline Taylor for working hard to instruct our young men and women during the process of formation May God bless you all! Regarding the First Holy Communion, thank you Sister Peggy Duffy, Ms Karen Schumaker, Mrs Emily Neeley, and Ms Jessica Wolken who have prepared our children for a couple of years so that they could understand and be able to receive Jesus the first time in their lives May the Lord always bless you! SILVER SAINT GEORGE AWARD When Fr Mark returned from the annual National Committee on Catholic Scouting Conference held in Minnesota, he was one of six new recipients of the Silver Saint George Adult Recognition Award As a recipient, Fr Mark was recognized for his hard work and diligence for many years at the national level, and whose accomplishments in carrying out the youth-serving mission of NCCS have been especially significant Pictured is Fr Mark receiving the St George Medal from Bishop R Daniel Conlon of the Diocese of Joliet EASTER VIGIL More pictures from the Easter Vigil Pictured is Lila Shepherd being baptized by Fr Joseph with her sponsors, Ryan Krebill & Heather Anderson Also pictured is Michael Hollister, Altar Server Thank you parents of both newly Confirmed and First Communicants for your prayers, support, and dedication by living your faith and teaching your children the Catholic faith May God always bless you and the fruits of your wonderful works Also, I would like to thank all who gave hands to make the celebrations prayerful and reverent, including the musicians, cantors, choir, liturgical ministers, and many others May God bless you all!
