Although I had been Catholic my entire life, I was never confirmed. After volunteering for several years with youth ministry and the high school youth group, I was confirmed alongside my young friends. My oldest son, a high school senior and active parishioner at the time, was my sponsor! It was an incredible blessing in so many ways and for so many people, especially me!
One of my favorite memories is of singing in the choir during my very first Triduum nearly two decades ago now. I was blown away back then by the deeply moving services that unfolded over those three absolutely incredible days, and I consider it one of the truly great blessings of my life that I have been able to be a part of it year after year.
