You are good parents. You care about your kids. You invested your time and energy for 3 years in order for you kids to receive sacraments. Please take a minute to be proud of YOUR accomplishments, God is with you.
This investment will yield fruits if you continue to bring your children to church. They still depend on your care in order to stay in touch with God. Your children are welcome to continue to attend our classes free of charge. We hope your kids become altar servers on Sundays. Let the Parish Office know if they are interested. You as parents are welcome to continue attending parent groups. We have other groups at other times, let us know if you are interested. I'm sure you noticed our volunteers who took time to prepare and come to teach your children every week, for 3 years. They love your children. Please keep the teachers in your prayers. |
Son buenos padres. Sus hijos les importan. Ustedes invirtieron su tiempo y energía durante estos 3 años para que sus hijos recibieran los sacramentos. Tomense un minuto para estar orgullosos de SUS logros, Dios está con ustedes.
Esta inversión de tiempo dará frutos si continúan trayendo a sus hijos a la iglesia. Ellos todavía dependen de su apoyo para mantenerse en contacto con Dios. Sus hijos pueden continuar asistiendo a nuestras clases sin pago. Esperamos que sus hijos comienzen a servir como monaguillos los domingos. Avisen a la oficina si quieren más informacion. Ustedes, como padres, tambien pueden continuar asistiendo a los grupos de padres. Tenemos otros grupos en otros horarios, avísanos si están interesados. Seguramente ustedes notaron a nuestros voluntarios que se tomaron el tiempo para prepararse y vinieron a enseñar a sus hijos cada semana durante estos 3 años. Ellos aman a sus hijos. Por favor mantengan a los maestros en sus oraciones. |
A confirmation sponsor is supposed to be a good Catholic role model. That's why logically this person needs to have all of their sacraments, married in the church if that applies, registered and attending Mass in a parish. Not to mention that they set a good example by living a Christian life.
Not every family member or friend meets the above conditions, in such a case, we recommend you keep looking. It may be someone that you know from St. Luke, possibly your child's RE Teacher.

COnfirmation Saint
|
Choosing a confirmation name is an important step on the path to living a devoted, holy life in the Catholic Church. Your confirmation name, typically the name of a saint, will serve both as a reminder to your commitment to God and as your inspiration for being a steward of the church. There are many methods for choosing a saint's name, such as picking based on shared traits and skills or finding your patron saint based on your birthday. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is that you should think deeply and pray about your confirmation name.
Before you choose, take a look at the Saints we have at St. Luke. |

Choosing a sponsor for Confirmation
Why do we need sponsors? Sponsors are: a good example and in full communion with the church real people who accompany us on the journey to God a support for parents in their religious education a sign that those receiving Confirmation become part of the big community of the Church Confirmation sponsors are members of the Church who are sinners - as we all are - but who repent and do their best to live according to God's will. They have to attend church regularly and be able to prove their membership in a parish. They need to be married in church or live alone. If you cannot find suitable sponsors within your family, please take a look at our parish members that you have come to know over the years. They may become much better examples and friends for your children - who will be able to relate to them - rather than a loving auntie or uncle whom your children will see only once in their lifetime at the ceremony. Nurturing and practicing your friendship with God Please keep in mind that Confirmation and First Communion are the beginning of active participation in the life of the Church. Reflect on how you and your children would like to continue listening to God and staying in a relationship with Him after the ceremony as well as on how you and your children would like to get involved in the Church’s Ministry. We offer groups for adults, teens and children. |
Los patrocinadores de la Confirmación son miembros de la Iglesia que son pecadores, como todos nosotros, pero que se arrepienten y hacen todo lo posible por vivir de acuerdo con la voluntad de Dios. Deben asistir a la iglesia con regularidad y poder demostrar su membresía en una parroquia. Necesitan estar casados por la iglesia o vivir solos. Si no puede encontrar patrocinadores adecuados dentro de su familia, eche un vistazo a los miembros de nuestra parroquia que ha llegado a conocer a lo largo de los años. Es posible que se conviertan en mejores ejemplos y amigos para sus hijos, que podrán relacionarse con ellos, en lugar de una tía o un tío cariñoso a quien sus hijos verán solo una vez en la vida en la ceremonia.
Nutrir y practicar su amistad con Dios Tenga en cuenta que la Confirmación y la Primera Comunión son el comienzo de la participación activa en la vida de la Iglesia. Reflexione sobre cómo a usted y sus hijos les gustaría seguir escuchando a Dios y mantener una relación con Él después de la ceremonia, así como también sobre cómo les gustaría a usted y a sus hijos participar en el Ministerio de la Iglesia. Ofrecemos grupos para adultos, adolescentes y niños. |
