Congratulations Eddy and Jesse!

It is with great joy that we congratulate Eddy and Jesse on their completion of the RCIA program and their reception into the Church at this evening's Easter Vigil Mass through the Sacraments of Initiation.

The RCIA program is a transformative journey of faith that prepares individuals for the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation – baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist. It is a time of learning, discernment, and spiritual growth as candidates deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith and discern whether they are called to join the Church.

Eddy and Jesse have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to their faith journey throughout the RCIA program. They have devoted time and energy to study, prayer, and reflection, and have been guided by the wisdom and support of their sponsors and the RCIA team. Their journey has led them to a deepening relationship with Christ and a desire to share in the fullness of the Catholic faith.

Tonight, as they are received into the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation, we celebrate with them the beginning of a new chapter in their spiritual lives. As they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in confirmation, they are strengthened to live out their faith in the world and to bear witness to the love of Christ in all they do.

We are grateful for the presence of Eddy and Jesse in our community, and we look forward to walking with them as they continue to grow in faith and love. May their journey inspire us all to renew our commitment to Christ and to seek ever deeper union with Him.

Congratulations, Eddy and Jesse, and welcome home to the Catholic Church!
