A Child's Promise...

What an honor it was to cover the September 2007 Confirmation ceremony at Assumption Catholic Church(Houston, TX). Though the subject matter was quite different from the usual wedding shoots I'm use to, it was just as sacred. It was also comforting to see all those young men and women each step up before the Bishop & everyone attending and accept such commitment.

"Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God's fidelity to us. " http://www.americancatholic.org/fEATURES/sACRAMENTS/Confirmation.asp
