Confirmation Retreats Held At St. Maria Goretti Church

Summer retreats focused on key foundations of the Catholic faith.

A release from the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative:

LYNNFIELD, Ma. - Over the summer, the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative held three retreats at St. Maria Goretti Church for students preparing for their Confirmation this Fall.

In the Catholic faith, Confirmation is the sacrament that completes baptism by strengthening and sealing the graces bestowed at baptism. Those who are Confirmed also accept a mission from God to be “soldiers of Christ” in the world.

The retreats, facilitated by Carol Galante-Dias, Eleanor Hurley, Meaghan Hurley, and Shannon Hurley from The Cranberry Catholic Collaborative, focused on key foundations of the Catholic faith: the Stations of the Cross, the Lord’s Prayer, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and our personal relationship with God.
