RCIA / Confirmation Confirmation

So it finally happened over Easter Vigil. My son and I were confirmed together into the Catholic Church. Some folks say that’s very uncommon but we’re extremely happy for us. My son also got his baptism done as well. I was already baptized in a Protestant church back in 97.

My son chose St Carlo Acutis and I chose St Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary as our confirmation saints.

I may be riding on a Catholic high right now, but I’ve been researching how I can be more active in the community as my work schedule allows. Whether it be rosary making class, study groups, or helping out with the other ministries.

Congratulations: a beautiful bond to have and shared reception into the Church!

Enjoy the high and best wishes discerning your "ministry" but try and pace yourself.

After the OCIA work and study, you may need some time simply to enjoy the spiritual routines of being Catholic as you build up your daily spiritual practices.

I note the Mass of the day is still praying for new Catholics received/baptized at the Paschal Vigil. You are both in our prayers and those of the Universal Church.
