Veni Sancti Spiritus: 1,322 around Archdiocese receive Sacrament of Confirmation

HOUSTON — Despite disastrous weather, the ensuing recovery and lengthy power disruptions in May and July, more than 1,320 adults from 73 parishes and Catholic communities from around the Archdiocese received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Daniel Cardinal DiNardo and Auxiliary Bishop Italo Dell’Oro, CRS, presided over 10 Masses at eight parishes, with several May Pentecost Masses delayed to July as several host parishes were impacted from the May derecho storm.

Each confirmation continued a faith journey for each candidate, sponsors and their parishes. To learn more about receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation as an adult, visit www.archgh.org/adultconfirmation or contact your parish.
