Last Fall, we announced changes to the Confirmation preparation program at St. Raphael’s Cathedral/St. Patrick’s and Holy Spirit parishes. In the 2019-2020 school year, our parishes partnered together to offer a combined collaborative Confirmation program. While covid impacted the program, we celebrated the sacrament at the Cathedral on June 18!
By uniting our efforts, we were able to extend a more robust program to our students and enhance their opportunity to experience the broader church. Students worked together through their preparation, forming a stronger faith-filled community, while accompanying each other on their journey to receiving the Holy Spirit.
Given some recent staff changes at Holy Spirit and the Cathedral/St. Patrick’s, we are expanding our shared programming to include faith formation for children in grades 1-9. We are pleased to announce that Jan Thyne, a recently retired veteran Catholic school teacher from Holy Family-Mazzucheli, will become the Director of Faith Formation for our parishes.
