For Gaudete (REJOICE!) Sunday the class of confirmation preparation joyfully performed service to assist the Liturgy of the Mass. Enthusiastic students and their families served as altar servers, lectors, usher/greeters, and presenters of the offertory gifts. The joy of the Mass was kindled by a family lighting the rose-colored candle of the Advent wreath. Members of the eighth grade class of the SJN RE program were enrolled for their confirmation promise during Mass on Gaudete (REJOICE!) Sunday. Our pastor, Father Edmond, blessed this group for its determination. The students received an Augustinian Cross adorned with book, heart and flame as a sign of their dedication.
