Before this special day, the students embarked on a three-day, two-night camp themed Journeying into a Synodal Church. Accompanied by their parish priest, Fr Vincent Thomas, catechists, Josephine Bosco and Soosai Selvanathan, they gathered at the Golden Sands Resort in Port Dickson from June 16 to 18.
Catechists Dr Grace Gnana Piragasam and Dr Jennifer Joan Francis were touched by the children’s enthusiasm to be infilled with the Holy Spirit. Dr Grace said it has been a phenomenal experience for the students, from the camp to confirmation day. She added that it marked a significant milestone in their journey of discipleship. Confirmand, Bryan Teddeus Vincent said that confirmation day was the best day in his life. “My friends and I were extremely excited”.
Crisalynn Sunetra Ryan, said, “After being confirmed, I felt a sense of clarity I’ve never felt before. I understand my purpose in this religion and I wish to improve my relationship with God. Getting confirmed makes me want to be a better Catholic”. The celebration ended with a performance by the candidates, presentation of the certificates and a cake-cutting ceremony.
