PRAYER TREE
Our Confirmation Prayer Tree is in the Gathering Area beginning Saturday, October 20th.
At the Rites of Entrance and Covenant we, as a parish, have promised to support these young men and women as they continue to strengthen their relationship with Jesus and grow in knowledge of our Catholic Faith and Traditions.
Each symbol of a dove, or flame contains the name of a candidate and a prayer to the Holy Spirit. The dove represents a Candidate in grade 9, beginning their journey toward Confirmation, and the
flame represents a Confirmand in grade 10 in Proximate preparation to be Confirmed.
Please take one of these symbols of the Holy Spirit from the “Prayer Tree” home and follow through in your
promise of support for our teens by praying each day for them as an individual or as a family. Pray that they be attentive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, to deepen their understanding Gods’ love for them, and develop their relationship with Jesus.
The prayers of our entire community are needed to help our teens as they prepare for the reception of this final Sacrament of Initiation into the Catholic Church.
All of us by virtue of our Baptism have a responsibility to help our teens as they continue on this journey.
You may pray for more than one teen.
Thank you for building up The Body of Christ!
