  More pictures from last nights confirmation.  Matthew with our beloved Father Morelle.  The very same priest who baptised all of my children, gave them their first communions and first penances.  He helped to prepare all of them for the sacrament of confirmation.  Doug and I are eternally greatful for all of the help he has been over the years in helping with the religious upbringing of our children.

  

  Matthew with Father Castronovo, the pastor of St. Joseph’s parish in Oneida.  Matthew serves daily mass there four or five days a week for the past two years.  He has learned a great deal from father and they have become great friends.  Matthew really looks up to father.  (only figuratively not literally as you can see from the picture)

   

  

  Matthew with his friend Heidi.  He stays with her family when I have to go to the hospital for treatments on my back.  He also serves on the altar with her two brothers Zach and Josh.  He treats her just like he does his own sister so I guess he likes her in his own way.  (maybe?)  She was confirmed last night also.  We have a great bunch of young people in our parish.  It is gratifying the way that they behaved themselves and answered the Bishop when he was there last night.  They are truly the hope of the future.
