St. Athanasius Church issued the following announcement on Sept. 6.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation for our 100 candidates at Saint Teresa of Avila church on three consecutive Wednesdays, October 14, 21 and 28. The ordinary minister of Confirmation is the Bishop so that there is a clearer reference to the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. After the Apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, they themselves transmitted the Spirit to the faithful through the laying on of hands. Thus, the reception of the Holy Spirit through the ministry of the Bishop shows the close bond that joins the confirmed to the Church and the mandate received from Christ to bear witness to him before all. For a grave cause, as is the case due to the present pandemic, the Bishop can delegate priests to administer the Sacrament. It is preferable that the priests who are so invited are the pastors of the places where Confirmation is conferred. Therefore, Father Rushofsky has been designated by Bishop Zubik to administer the Rite of Confirmation this Fall for the candidates from our parish. Please keep the candidates in prayer as they make final preparations to receive the sacrament.
