STM Newsletter for April 28, 2021

View this email in your browser April 28, 2021 Dear STM Families, Our second and third graders are glowing after receiving their First Holy Communion last Saturday. The weather cooperated for this special occasion and our students looked angelic and so excited for their special day. This Friday, Fr. Marvin will be administering the sacrament of Confirmation to over 60 of our 7th and 8th grade students. Confirmation is a sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ that confers the gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord) upon the recipient. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives candidates the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation. Candidates are now speaking up for themselves and making a promise to build  a closer bond with the Catholic Church. This will be an indoor ceremony with screening of all students, sponsors and family members. Seating is limited to those who are signed up to attend in order to comply with social distancing guidelines still in place.
