38 Christians from all saints Kainuk Parish received the sacrament of confirmation yesterday. The confirmations were presided by Rt. Rev. Bishop Dominic Kimengich who was visiting the Parish for the 2nd time in the year.
His lordship said that the sacrament of confirmations is like the sacrament of the Eucharist that strengthens them and opens their own ways to God. He anointed those confirmed with holy oil which strengthens and guides them in their lives. Touching on the Gospel of the day, his lordship urged the faithfuls to leave and abandon the earthly materials, which he said blinds people and prevents them from seeing God.
Bishop Dominic encouraged the faithfuls not to revenge to their enemies for what they have done for them so as to maintain purity in their hearts, peace within them and their enemies since God is against that. He called upon all to live together despite of the tribalism and discrimination. He also asked them to pray to the virgin Mary to intercede for them so as to enter the kingdom of God.
The parish priest of All saints Fr. Javier Gonzalez thanked the bishop for celebrating the mass, presiding the sacrament of confirmation. He gave the breakdown of the existing groups in the parish as follows: 70 registered P.M.C members, C.M.A, C.W.A, and Holiday youth pro-gramme. The parish priest said that they would be having elections of the new officials of the church soon. Assistant parish Priest Fr. Fransisco Trujillo is assisting in food for work distributions and is also helping the church in writing and connections of the power acting like the technician of the parish.
