"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith and purity. Do not neglect the spiritual gift that is in you. Practice these things and devote yourself to them, in order that your progress may be seen by all. Keep doing these things, because if you do, you will save both yourself and those who hear you."
1Timothy 4:12-16

This was in the worship folder we prayed from tonight at Confirmation in the Sheboygan Armory. I was priviledged to be asked to sponsor my niece, Erin Deeley for this occasion. We have had fun sharing and bonding for this event and I am very proud of her. Archbishop Timothy Dolan officiated at the ceremony. He read excerpts from several letters written by the confirmants and Erin's was one of them. She was both proud and embarrassed and her thoughts were very impressive. Fr. Gene, our pastor, actually confirmed Erin and was very warm and spent a moment with each young person.

Altogether a wonderful experience. The music was a group choir from all nine parishes who were part of the ceremony and was wonderful.
