Tonight, I received the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The mass was wonderful and I really loved it all. Of course, due to the way confirmation was done, I was there without any of my children so that may have something to do with how much I enjoyed the service.   

Anyway, my family was there and I prayed fervently for them all to return to the church and hope today was a good start.

I just wanted to share my good fortune with you all!!

Congratulations, KC!

My oldest dd sat with our pastor this evening for her pre-Confirmation interview. All went very well, and we look forward to her reception of the sacrament in a week and a half.

Come Holy Spirit!

YAY! Congratulations, friend.

KC made such a beautiful choice for a patron! (I'll let her tell you who she chose. I am beyond tickled with her choice ~ such a great fit!)

I chose St. Faustina. I had been waffling back and forth and all over the place. So, I took it to God. I went to the adoration chapel and St. Faustina's name was whispered into my heart.
