Catholic Organization for Development & Peace as
part of our Share Lent collection. The entire Easter
collection remains in our parish to assist us with the
cost of daily operations. Thank you for your
generous support of both these collections which
helps support the needy in Third World countries as
well as our own needs.
Le saviez-vous…que dans notre paroisse, la
quête du vendredi saint est envoyée à
l’organisation catholique du Développement et Paix

viennent en aide aux personnes du Tiers Monde

Sunday of Divine Mercy
Dimanche de la Miséricorde divine
April 12, 2015
Sunday of Divine
Mercy: When we place
Confirmation at Visitation Parish
our trust in God, His mercy
conquers the world. Christ
extends His victory over sin
and death through us in the
sacrament of reconciliation;
let us in turn show this
mercy to those we encounter in our personal relationships.
The whole community rejoices
with our candidates for
confirmation as they prepare for
this important and solemn
moment in their lives. Please
support them with your prayers
in the coming week!
Dimanche de la Miséricorde divine:

parish and in their gowns no later than 6:30 pm.
Mass begins – refreshments and distribution of
certificates to follow in the hall.
All parishioners are welcome and encouraged
to attend the confirmation. Please come and
show your support to let our young people
know that receiving this sacrament is
significant not only for those being confirmed
but for our entire parish community!
Did you know?
There is a rumor going around that confirmation is “when
you become an adult in the Church” or even “when you
choose for yourself to become Catholic”. This IS NOT what
our faith teaches us!
Confirmation is the necessary completion or “sealing” of the
grace received in baptism. (CCC 1285) It gives the
candidate the strength and power from God himself:
(1) rooting them more deeply as adopted sons and
daughters of God;
(2) unites them more firmly to Christ;
(3) increases in them the gifts of the Holy Spirit;
(4) makes their bond with the Church more perfect
(5) gives them a special strength to defend the
faith by word and action as true witnesses of
Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and
never to be ashamed of the Cross. (CCC 1303)
Confirmation – like all the
sacraments, is more about God’s
action in the soul rather than our
initiative.
What we can do is
prepare our hearts to be fruitful soil,
free of the weeds of sin and full of
the fertilizer of our virtuous acts so
that the seed – the Word of God –
can take root and grow.
