On Wednesday, November 8, Bishop Robert Brennan, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of
Rockville Centre will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the candidates of our
Parish. These young women and men are the chosen members of this community who have
studied, served and prepared for this Sacrament.
During the past few weeks, they have continued their journey towards Confirmation and even greater involve-
ment in the life of our church. The Confirmation Candidates of our Parish have participated in “Spirit Nights”
with their parents and sponsors. These times together were an opportunity for them to experience how im-
portant it is to be active, faith-filled members of the church community. The last “Spirit Night” will be Sunday,
November 5 at the 6:00pm Mass with our Parish family. Please pray for our Confirmation Candidates as they
embrace this very important commitment in their faith journey and that they will continue to be strengthened,
loved and supported by YOU ... their Parish family.

to Draw

Prayer
Dear God, Help me to love You and other people more and more every day.
Sharing the Gospel
When you have a choice to make, think about what God wants. Make sure your choices are good and that they help other people. When you fol-low God’s example, you will be ready to love other people. With God’s help, you can be gentle, forgiving and kind.
As a family, help an elderly person in your neighborhood. Help them with Fall projects around their home, or help them clean their yard.
