Of The Divine Word

Most Reverend Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., (Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton) was the main celebrant, along with Father Guilherme Andrino (Pastor), Father Pedro Bou, Father Jun Pateno, and Father Jan Pastuszczak (Parochial Vicars). Their presence and support made the day even more meaningful for the young confirmands.

Almost 900 parents, sponsors, and family members filled the church to watch and support the candidates. Bishop O’Connell noted that this was the largest Confirmation he had attended in the Diocese so far this year. The evening was full of respect, happiness, and devotion as the community celebrated this new chapter for the young church members.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen our new Confirmands as they grow in faith and service. Congratulations to all!
