Dear Grandchildren

Bishop Yvan Calls those to be Confirmed to stand  Bishop Yvan Speaks to those being Confirmed  "Your Mission to witness to the Gospel begins today" Bishop Yvan prays over those to be confirmed that they may be anointed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit Profession of Faith Bailee and Emilee Confirmed The Great Amen The priest says or sings this prayer alone (or with other priest concelebrants) because it forms an integral part of the Eucharistic Prayer, which has always been reserved exclusively to the priest. The people give their assent to the priest’s words through their saying or singing the Amen, often called the great Amen as being the most important of the Mass. This Amen is seen as the definitive conclusion to the Eucharistic Prayer and its doxology (a prayer of praise) symbolized by the fact that the priest does not lower the chalice and paten until the people  conclude the Amen.    https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/through-him-with-him--4399 Final Blessing and
