On February 7th, Bishop Daniel H. Mueggenborg came to our parish and Confirmed twenty-seven of our parishioners! Bishop Mueggenborg is the newest Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Seattle, and has been a Bishop less than a year!
In this sacrament, the the Holy Spirit strengthened the newly Confirmed with spiritual gifts (cf.
Isaiah 11:1-4) so that they could be more closely united to Jesus Christ and his Church, and so that they could become witnesses of Christ in every part of their lives. They now bring the love and power of God in a new way into all their words, actions, and relationships.
The newly Confirmed range from sophomores in high school to college students and working professionals. They each prepared for the sacrament through prayer, study, and learning to recognize the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We're delighted to welcome them to full membership in the Church!
If you were baptized as a Catholic, but have not been Confirmed, we would love to help you receive this vital sacrament! Please contact Robert King (
