Thanks to the 2026 SMM High School Confirmation Candidates for assisting the Altar Society in decorating the Church for the Christmas Season. Their service to the Church is evidence that Confirmation is not the culmination of their journey of faith; rather it is a renewal and a commitment to growing in their faith. Please keep our candidates in your prayers as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on February 26, 2026.
