Congratulations Congratulations to the 37 girls and boys who received the Sacrament of Confirmation here, last Wednesday. Our congratulations go, also, to their parents, and, in a special way, their teachers, for all their dedication in preparing them for this very special day in their young lives. Our thanks, also, to Srs. Máire and Joanna for all their help in preparing children for the Sacraments in both schools. The young children, "upstairs", in the choir and their soloist at the Mass were all brilliant. A very special thanks to their teachers. |
World Youth Day Pilgrimage, 2005 Cologne, August 15-22 Pope John Paul II: "The Church has much to say to young people, and they have much to say to the Church. This mutual dialogue must be open-hearted, clear and courageous. It fosters encounter and exchange between the generations and becomes a source of wealth and youth for the Church and society". The new Pope, Benedict XVI, will attend World Youth Day. |
