Bishop Noonan @ Confirmation prep

CCD — Since I’m a catechist for 10th grade Confirmation preparation (@ St Timothy’s), I went to the Confirmation prayer service led by Bishop Noonan.  Kids, parents and sponsors prayed together with a very meaningful reflection by Bishop Noonan on Baptism, parents, purpose of marriage, our growth in faith, our call to service, our lives of prayer, and our response in Confirmation.  — Awesome … I’m glad I went!

Bishop Noonan’s 25 year party

Tonight, we helped Miami Auxiliary Bishop John Noonan celebrate his 25th Anniversary of his priesthood.  Us seminarians spent much of the afternoon preparing with table set-ups.  The evening began with a beautiful Mass.  The homily enlightened all to how personable Bishop Noonan has always been.  Afterwards was a reception with dinner and stories mostly from former seminary classmates of the Bishop’s.  Great food, fellowship and priestly fraternity.  (I was a bartender and table server)  — Congratulations again, Bishop Noonan!
