Thank you!

We are extremely grateful to all who helped make this day special: Bishop Timothy O’Malley, Fr. Steve Lanza, Deacon Bob Arvidson, and Deacon Tom Purtell. Thank you to our altar servers, Jonathan Kim for leading us in worship and our Art and Environment team who decorated our church for this very special occasion. Thank you to all parents, grandparents and sponsors for trusting St. Francis de Sales Parish with the formation of your teens!

Finally, we are very blessed to have an incredible Youth Ministry Team of leaders who have spent the last two years preparing and guiding our teens in their journey and on our Castle retreats, and who also made sure everything ran smoothly at our celebration: Jessica Farfan, Kathy Fuell, Susan Johnson, Lexi Hitchens, Allison Kavanaugh, Delia Kavanaugh, Mary Jo Kunzmann, Katie McGlauchlin, Mimi McGlauchlin, Erika Navarrete, Karen Nolan, Friday Ruiz, Ray Urban, Bill Weismann, Georgia Wiersma, Holly Moorman and Diana Arizmendi.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
