It’s the time of the year for our high schoolers to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. At the next Back-to-Basics talk on Wednesday, April 19, Fr. Mitch Guidry will take a close look at this important Sacrament of Initiation.

He will also look at some of the upcoming Feasts and Memorials, including Fr. Damien of Molokai, St. Gianna Beretta Molla, and the Fatima visionaries.

The talk will be at 5:30 pm at the Queen of All Saints Family Life Center.
