ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Are you seeking to be confirmed, to be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit as an adult? Perhaps you missed Confirmation for whatever reasons early on. Need to discern what the Sacrament of Confirmation will bring to your life? We are offering Adult Confirmation Sessions to help you get the answers by listening and reflecting on how God has faithfully walked with you on your life’s journey. What does that mean? Connect with us if you are 18 or older and have already received the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist, and are seeking to learn more about getting confirmed. Click on the graphic above to inquire and get on the communication flocknote list.

FROM THE DIOCESE
Please keep Bishop Emeritus Felipe Estévez in your prayers.
The following is a special message from Bishop Emeritus Felipe Estévez released Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022:
 
“I wanted to let you know that I am doing very well following surgery (Nov. 16) to amputate my right leg below the knee. As many may know, I have lived with diabetes most of my life and recent issues of infection in my foot and therapy toward healing were unsuccessful. While I am experiencing some expected pain and discomfort, I am doing great overall. May the Lord be praised! 
 
"Please be assured that I continue to pray for the people of the diocese. I ask for your continued prayers for me as I enter an intense period of recovery and rehabilitation. Your prayers and words of encouragement have given me great strength, and I sincerely thank you for them.
 
"I ask for your understanding that I am unable to respond individually to all the many phone calls, texts and emails that I have received. I look forward to returning to a more active ministry as soon as I am able.
 
May Our Lady of La Leche continue to watch over and protect us all!”
