Welcome to
Saints Philip and James
Roman Catholic Church
One Carow Place, St. James NY 11780
Tuesday, April 16, 2024...The students from SSPJ celebrated Confirmation.
Bishop Romero, assisted by our Pastor Fr. Tom, Fr. Joe, and Deacon John
spoke beautifully to our young adult, offering them vision, hope, and dreams.
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Christian’s relationship with God is made stronger. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are strengthened: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. In this way the Christian is equipped to become a better witness to Christ in the world.
A bishop is the usual celebrant of the Sacrament of Confirmation. During the celebration of Confirmation the bishop extends his hands over those to be confirmed and calls upon God: “Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their helper and guide.”
Then each person to be confirmed is anointed with chrism on the forehead as the bishop says, “Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.”
In Confirmation the Christian becomes more closely united with Christ. With the strengthening of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit the Christian is able to accept new responsibilities for witnessing Jesus to the world. (Photo on Gallery page)
