                                                  Meet our Confirmation Students! 
                                                   This week: Mitchell Hecimovich 
My name is Mitchell Hecimovich.  I am 16 years old and a sophomore in high school.  My parents are John and Liane Hecimovich and I have thee older siblings.  I participate in band and baseball.  I would like to be confirmed because all of my siblings and my family has been confirmed and it is a part of being catholic.

Presentation of the Lord
Jesus is the Messiah who institutes a new covenant with his people, but he was raised as a practicing Jew by his devout parents. Jewish tradition held that firstborn male children were to be presented at the Temple and a sacrifice offered 40 days after his birth. Luke's Gospel tells the story of this sacred event. Simeon, a priest of the temple, prophetically greets the Holy Family. "Now let your servant go in peace? My eyes have seen salvation which you have prepared in the site of all peoples." On this feast, we remember that Jesus does not come to abolish the traditions of the past but to fulfill them. His sacrifice on the cross and establishment of the Church lay the foundation for new traditions that continue to bring life to us today!

Meet our Confirmation Students!
This week: Kennedy-Grace Bloomer!

My name is Kennedy-Grace Bloomer.  I am 15 years old and I’m currently a sophomore at Chequamegon High School.  My parents are Matt and Angela Bloomer.  I have no siblings, but I have 3 dogs:  Katie, Sam, and Cooper.  I am involved in cross country, track, colorguard, winterguard, band, and FBLA.  I want to be confirmed to be closer to God with my faith.  I see myself sharing my faith by praying for people who are in need of it and who are struggling to make the right choices or having a bad day.
 
Conversion of St. Paul
On January 25th, we celebrate the apostle St. Paul. Paul’s story is a testament to the power and love of God. Paul began his life as Saul, an idealistic young Pharisee. He was present at the stoning of the first Christian martyr, Stephen. Saul took it upon himself to track down and persecute professed Christians. On his way to a community in Damascus, he was struck by a blinding light and saw a vision of Christ who asked, “Why are you persecuting me?” The powerful experience transformed him forever. Paul, as he was now known, became one of the greatest evangelists of the early Church. Many of his letters are preserved in the Bible. His wisdom, zeal, and devotion lives on for all the Church.

Meet our Confirmation Students!

Question:   If Jesus didn't sin, why did he need to be baptized?
Answer:   From the earliest days of St. John the Baptist, baptism has been a sign of repentance and forgiveness of sins. Now Jesus has instituted it as a sacrament, with real power to cleanse us from original sin and adopt us as children of God. But if Jesus wasn't affected by original sin, nor did he willingly choose sin, why would he need to be baptized?
      The Catechism lists four primary reasons for the Incarnation. One is that "the Word became flesh to be our model of holiness" (CCC 459). St. John Paul II wrote that "all of Christ's life was a continual teaching." In other words, many of Jesus' actions were not only for the action itself, but to model certain things for us. In becoming man, Jesus is not so loft that he expects things of us he isn't willing to do himself. We see this most poignantly in his passion and death. In his baptism, Jesus identifies with sinners and gives us a model of what we ought to do - repent, be cleansed, and receive the grace of God!
