Holy Cross was honored by a visit from the Rt. Rev. Philip Wright on Sunday, May 30th. Bishop Wright came to celebrate the Eucharist and to baptize and confirm members of our school community. The service was held at the Angel Nunez Auditorium at San Pedro High School. Eleven children were baptized, and nine students were confirmed and made their First Communion. This was the first confirmation class at Holy Cross. I was very blessed to lead them and help prepare them for this exciting step. We rejoice with the children and their families.
Bishop Wright presented copies of the New Testament to each family who had a child baptized. In addition he gave Study Bibles and wooden crosses to each student who was confirmed.
I am so greatful to the school staff who prepared the auditorium and helped in many ways to make the service beautiful. While we had a couple of hard rain showers during the service, the spirits of the children were not effected. Truly the Holy Spirit was in that place.
