During May, Tom started his confirmation preparation with our parish priest. Tom and I have been for lessons for the last three Thursdays. We are working our way through the book Sacrament of Confirmation Catechetics by Fr. Peter Murphy. It is a great program and is preparing Tom for the sacrament really well.
Today we also watched this video:
For his saint, Tom has chosen St. Dominic Salvio.
This weekend, Tom and I will go to Whyalla to buy fabric for some new pants, a good shirt and jacket to wear. Maybe just this once, I can finish them before the day he is confirmed. It has become tradition for me to be putting finishing touches on outfits just a couple of hours before they are due at the church.
He will be confirmed on the 16th of June by Bishop O'Kelly. Between now and then, we will be praying this prayer each day for Tom.
I have also added the Prayer to the Holy Spirit to my sidebar.

Our son is preparing too, he will be confirmed in July. Such an exciting step in the lifelong journey of faith.
Congratulations to Tom! I hope you finish your sewing in time, Therese. Maybe, you could post some photos of him on the day? The clothes you make always look so lovely in your photos - I'm impressed that you manage to get so much done:-)
God bless, Therese:-)
How exciting Kelly. It is great to watch our children become full members in the church.
Vicky, I will post photos when I get the clothes made. Thanks for your congratulations.
