Confirmation
Confirmation
deepens the process
of initiation into the faith which began at Baptism. It brings additional
strength for the journey and strengthens the connection with the
faith community. The candidate is anointed with oil as a sign of
strength as a Christian.
Confirmation
preparation for adults is for practicing adult Catholics
(over age 18 or out of high school) who have already received the
sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist, and who now wish to
receive the sacrament of Confirmation. St. Rose and St. Ambrose
parishes work together to offer this six-week series each year after
Easter. Upon completion of the course, adults are confirmed by a
Bishop on Pentecost at a Diocesan celebration.

Life
Is Beautiful
Most of the time we think that in order to follow Christ we need to deny and sacrifice our needs and desires. However, Benedict XVI says, “Christ does not save us from our humanity, but through it”. As humans, we were made with desires. What truly defines us are our deepest desires for happiness, fulfillment, freedom, beauty!
Christianity professes one thing: “the Word became flesh” which truly means that Beauty became flesh, Freedom became flesh, Happiness became flesh! Christianity is simple, two thousand years ago our faith had it’s beginning with an encounter with Jesus. He is the answer to these desires.
Today our faith can live on and there is only one condition for that encounter to continue in our lives every day. Never stop desiring. Don’t stop wanting and looking at reality in search of that Beauty, of that Freedom, of that Happiness that may satisfy our heart through Him!
For this reason we propose to everyone to rediscover together our heart, to reawake our deepest desires, to look at what interest us with renewed passion!
Each class will be held in the Administration Building at St. Rose from 6:45-7:45PM
