At the end of the meeting, at Thea's invitation, the bishops stood and sang "We Shall Overcome" with gusto.Thea lived a full life.

Now, we are responsible for our sins and life we decide to live. “I grew up with a younger sister who has an intellectual disability,” Palumbo says. “One of the things that bothered me mostwas people’s use of the word ‘retard’ and how that seemed to be okay in social circumstances.” -Soeren Palumbo What Happens at Confirmation? What do we Receive? a : marked by long continuance and likely to persist b : fixed in habit and unlikely to change Confirmation Abby Ellis Alec Hubrich Confirmation, a sacrament of initiation, establishes young adults as full-fledged members of the faith. This sacrament is called Confirmation because the faith given in Baptism is now confirmed and made stronger. During your Baptism, your parents and godparents make promises to renounce Satan and believe in God and the Church on your behalf. At Confirmation, you renew those same promises, this time speaking for yourself. The Holy Spirit is our connection to the Source of the story, the truth of the story, and the power of the story of Jesus. No wonder Jesus had taught that we had to be “born of water and of the Spirit” (John 3:3-37) Soeren Palumbo Speech It represents the healing of touch of Jesus Christ and symbolizes that it is a way to show comfort and that you are praying for them "R-Word Speech" Soeren Palumbo is a senior honors student at the University of Notre Dame with intentions to pursue a JD/MBA after graduation.
