4 Thir!eth Sunday of Ordinary Time October 26, 2014 Sacred Heart, Manchester St. John the Bap!st, Essex Dear Friends in Christ: This week end we welcome The Very Reverend Gerard Petringa, North Region of the Archdiocese. Fr. Petringa will be celebra"ng the Sacrament of Confirma"on for the young people of our parishes at the 5:30 Mass in Sacred Heart Church. The prayers and best wishes of the parishes are extended to our Confirma"on Candidates. May the gi%s of the Holy Spirit inspire them and strengthen their faith. Thank you to all who have been instrumental in their forma"on and prepara"on for the Sacrament. This journey began with their parents and godparents at the their Bap"sm. At that "me we prayed that the parents would be the first and best teachers of their children in the ways of faith. This is a responsibility that con"nues throughout life and in a special way is assumed by the students as they are confirmed and welcomed as adults into the life of the Church. As adults in the life of the Church they are called to publicly proclaim their faith in the life they live and, guided by the teachings of the church, the chooses they make. Their faith is deepened by their regular prayers, con"nued learning about the faith and in regular and ac"ve par"cipa"on in Mass. Let us pray that our parishes will con"nue to lead them to grow in the love of God and that they become ac"ve members of their community. Thank you to the teachers that they have had in Religious Educa"on over the years, in a special way we acknowledge the work of Jay Caress, Peter Kaneb and Veronica Ma-hews who have been their guides the past few years in Confirma"on prepara"on. The following are the Confirmandi for this year: Aisling - Agatha - Batchelder Joseph - Robert - Bertagna Megan - Ann - Clark Charles - John Chrysostom - Davis Nicholas - Nicholas - DiPietro Nathan - Thomas - Evans Cormac - Peter - Flickinger Gillian - Elizabeth- Guerin Jack - Michael - Hennigan Holly - Nicholas - Kaneb Katey - Rose - Latassa Molly - Lucia - Lynch Caitlyn - Brigid - Malloy Isabella - Faus!na - Mastendino Sabrina - Therese - Pallazola Lydia - Rose - Parker Edward - Thomas Becket - Siqueira May the Holy Spirit fill their hearts and lives with an outpouring of the gi%s of the Holy Spirit Come Holy Spirit, Come!!
