Six parish children will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, Sunday, October 6, at 10am Mass.  Their pictures are at the entrance of the church and their names are in the bulletin.  Pray that they will be open to receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as they become full members of the Church.  Please also keep their families and catechists in your prayers as they prepare for this special day.  Pick a name of one of the Confirmandi from the basket on the credenza as a reminder to pray for that child.  The celebrant will be Monseigneur Christian Lépine, Archbishop of the diocese of Montreal.  He will stay for a time afterwards to share breakfast with the congregation.  Feel free to bring something to contribute to the community meal.
