On Sunday, April 12th, Our Lady of the Hills celebrated the confirmations of Ellie and Lilly.  As Bishop Mark E. Brennan sealed the foreheads of the girls with the sign of our faith, we prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill them with His presence that they will live their lives devoted to our Lord.

For our community of faith it was as momentous an occasion as it was for the girls and their family.  Our Lady of the Hills is a true family of faith and we embraced the moment with hearts full of joy for the two girls.

We continue to pray for Ellie and Lilly in their walk with Christ, that they will exemplify Him in all that they do as they give witness to our Lord whom they serve.
