Confirmation

We had a weekend filled with abundant grace!  Our three oldest (Moira, Eileen and Bridget) as well as Kelly and Kelley's three oldest (Owen, Emmett and Colleen) were confirmed on Sunday at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral by Bishop Ricken.

My parents arrived for the weekend and took the kids bowling on Saturday night to celebrate the event.  They hadn't been bowling in a very long time so we had no stellar scores, but lots of fun!






Here are the six kids with Bishop Ricken.  With their confirmation names, from left to right:  Colleen (Perpetua), Bridget (Rose of Lima), Eileen (Mary Magdaline), Moira (Brigid), Owen (Thomas More) and Emmett (Patrick).

Aidan had his name on the cake as well because he made his First Holy Communion a few weeks ago.

I couldn't catch Bridget before she changed out of her confirmation dress : ) 

It was really a beautiful day.  Afterwards we celebrated with both sets of grandparents and Patrick and Anna.  Also, thank you to Father Eric, Suzy and Kelly who were Moira, Eileen and Bridget's sponsors!
