Confirmation
Finally Confirmation Day!
I think the 102 of us did work pretty hard to get here somehow. At least I know the RCIY and sec3 confirmands did. After endless catechism classes, camps and mission trips, we are finally declared prepared to receive the gift of the holy spirit. I guess with all the preparation, confirmation became more meaningful. Oh yeah. Not to mention we had to go through two face-to-face confessions (horror!)- once during confirmation camp and once last week on the Day of Recollection. So confirmation is essentially not just about today but about the journey.
So anyway, we all came dressed in white, for the big day today. After today, we will all end up at different places. I guess some will disappear from church forever. Some will be Sunday Catholics. Others will join the ministry and be even more active in church. (We don't want to be confirmed pigeons.)
We all came today dressed in white. Now, we either look like a bunch of nurses (good!), or a bunch of young and eager PAP members (bad!).
My parents and godparents came. See how happy my godpa is?! Yes. He's so happy to be here listening to archie's history lesson.
So anyway we waited for His Grace, the archbishop of Singapore Nicholas Chia to come confirm us and celebrate mass. Apparently he got caught in a traffic jam or something.
I think from this photo the hat looks like some onion looking thing.
Father Luke (left) and Father JJ (right).
His Grace in a nice hat and frock. Okay, I just found out the stick he's holding is called a crosier and his lovely onion hat is called a miter. Both given to bishops during ordaination.
Oh look at what we got for confirmation!
Finally confirmed!!! Proof!!!
Erm. Ok. Why do I keep seeing Uncle Jacob in all the pics?!
