On July 13, twenty-two confirmands from the Church of St Theresa, Nilai, the Church of St Aloysius, Mantin, and Gereja Bonda Maria, Kampung Tekir, received the Sacrament of Confirmation. This group included both catechism students and those from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
Archbishop Julian Leow presided over the Mass, with parish priest, Fr Christopher Soosaipillai, concelebrating. In his homily, the archbishop explained the significance of the colour red worn during the sacrament, explaining that it represents the mission and the readiness to suffer and make sacrifices for God. Additionally, it symbolises the Holy Spirit’s guidance as we bear our crosses.
The ceremony was followed by a joyful evening of fellowship, a potluck organised by the parents and plenty of merrymaking.
