What to Wear to Confirmation

So Confirmation is quickly approaching and we are getting a lot of questions about what to wear. Here are the answers. Take a look and if yo have any questions go ahead and send an email to highschoolministry@gmail.com

Colors

It is very appropriate to wear read on the day of your confirmation. Red is a color associated with the Holy Spirit and the sacrament is one of receiving a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So red makes sense.

we suggest red as an accent color for the men. While a woman may be able to pull of a red dress, a man has a much harder time pulling off a red suit. So, think Red ties

Dan Brown, Illuminate and Lies about the Catholic Church

Howdy my cyber friends,
You may remember the hugely "popular" an incredibly anti-catholic book/movie the DaVinci Code and the follow up movie Angels and Demons. . .

Author Dan Brown has written some gripping fiction here, but that is exactly what he has written, fiction. His books do a masterful job of taking a little truth and twisting it into a convincing lie.  It is a tactic the devil has been using since the garden of Eden.  Take a little truth and twist it.

Recently I have had some questions come forth about the untruths told by Mr Brown, about global conspiracies, masons and the illuminate . . and in response I offer the following link.  http://www.catholic.com/library/cracking_da_vinci_code.asp

Please Come Home

In case you need a song to remind you that God is always welcoming home the Prodigal Son.
"Nothing can ever separate you from My Love."
