We had exciting day with a few confirmations and reaffirmations. Not only was Bishop Mello our special guest, we also had guests from St. Lukes-St Pauls (the other parish Father Martinez supports) and our service bulletin was bi-lingual to help everyone. After the service, almost everyone stayed for an extra special coffee hour where the Bishop will led a question/answer forum before he meeting with the Vestry.
This visit marked the Bishop’s first ever confirmation and reaffirmation and he did a wonderful job.
Check you the photos below from that day.

A beautiful day for a wonderful service.
It is good to be back in the choir. It has been 2 years and lots of lonely days without coming to church. Online
service kept me going, but it is not the same as being there. Thank you for all
the work it is to present the online
service.
it was wonderful to see you Mary-Irene back at the church and singing
