Bishops are the successors of the apostles. They have received the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders. The administration of this sacrament by them demonstrates clearly that its effect is to unite those who receive it more closely to the Church, to her apostolic origins, and to her mission of bearing witness to Christ. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1313)

The Most Reverend William D. Byrne, Bishop of Springfield, will administer this sacrament at Mass at 2:00 pm.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions and seating space within the upper Church, each confirmandi is allowed a maximum of 3 guests.  One of which should be the sponsor.  There is additional seating available in the lower Church where the Mass will be projected.  For those who prefer to watch online the Mass will be live streamed on this website and on Youtube.
