Holy Trinity Catholic Church
In this special Confirmation Mass homily, Fr. Paul Moret speaks directly to the young candidates receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation—and their families—highlighting the vital role of parents and sponsors in nurturing faith amidst the distractions of the modern world. With heartfelt encouragement, he reminds us that Confirmation is not graduation from faith, but a new beginning of personal commitment to Christ.
Drawing from the Scriptures, especially the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of John, Fr. Paul underscores the importance of Church authority, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the call to active participation in parish life. From altar serving to Vacation Bible School, he presents nine concrete ways for youth to live out their Catholic identity.
This episode is an invitation to all of us—especially parents and guardians—to place Jesus at the center of family life and help raise the next generation of saints. As Fr. Paul powerfully states, “What does it profit someone to gain the whole world, but lose their soul?”
