St. Isaac's 8th Grade Students Receive the Sacrament of Confirmation

​On Tuesday, December 1st, and Thursday, December 3rd, the 8th graders were sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are happy to have been able to celebrate this sacrament which was conferred by Bishop Joseph Perry of the Archdiocese of Chicago with social distancing, wearing of masks, disinfecting, and lots of cleaning. The bishop spoke about the tradition of renewing Baptismal Promises going back to ancient times. On the first Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit changed everything: the emboldened Apostles no longer hid ~ they proclaimed the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our prayers go with the newly confirmed eighth graders as they prepare to go out into the world to live more divinely and bear witness to Christ.
Eph 1:13 “In Him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.”
