The candidates came from 18 parishes across our Diocese. During my homily, I shared that this Sacrament cements our relationship with God and strengthens us for the lifelong journey of faith. It was moving to witness how deeply the Holy Spirit touched each confirmand, affirming that this Sacrament is a true and holy encounter with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I encouraged the confirmandi to recognize that their lives should be different from that moment forward. Each individual receives the Holy Spirit in a unique way, but this group did so with open hearts, ready to receive this divine gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I anointed them, I witnessed the transformative power of the Sacrament. Some were moved to tears\u2014tears of joy, of gratitude, of a profound realization that God was at work within them. It was a reminder to all of us that when we surrender to God, He responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May those confirmed last Thursday, and all of us, continue to be guided and strengthened by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrating Milestone Wedding Anniversaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-3-240x180.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After a brief delay due to inclement weather in February, the Annual Wedding Anniversary Mass took place this past Sunday at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olfallriver.com\/\">Cathedral<\/a>.

Lent is a sacred time for prayer, reflection, and sacrifice\u2014an opportunity to deepen our relationship with Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many choose to give up something they enjoy, such as sweets, as a small act of sacrifice. Others take on additional spiritual practices or acts of charity. While abstaining from a favorite treat can be a meaningful challenge, Lent also invites us to extend our sacrifice to serve those in need. Consider volunteering at a soup kitchen, assisting at a homeless shelter, or finding other ways to offer some hope to those struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lent is not only about sharing in Christ\u2019s sacrifice. It is also performing the work of Christ here on Earth. As we journey through these 40 days, may we open our hearts &#8211; just like the adults who were confirmed last week &#8211; to both sacrifice and service, bringing Christ\u2019s love and mercy to those who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sacrifice of enjoyment or service to those in need will you commit to during Lent this year?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Blessed Lent to all of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+Bishop da Cunha<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Ash Wednesday, Bishop da Cunha shares a brief reflection on Lenten sacrifices and
