Completing
the Sacraments of Christian Initiation
We in Siddhpur have four young people receiving the sacrament of
Confirmation and one little girl receiving Jesus for the first time in Holy Communion.
These candidates were very regular, enthusiastic in attending the catechetical
instruction dispensed by Fr. Xavier James and also very participative in
several activities which were conducted. Some of them would spend Rs. 60 daily to
come for the class. They together with their parents attended the funeral of
Fr. Ignas at Unteshwari to inculcate in them greater respect and gratitude for
the priests who served them in the past. Mr. Simon of Palanpur met with an
accident and is admitted since two months at Mehsana Hospital. We intended to
help the family financially and all responded very generously and helped the
family with our collection. This brings forth the witnessing value in the
children and parents as well. As these young people are preparing to receive
the Sacraments may the Lord guide and help them to continue to be better
witnesses of the Kingdom of God in this unknown vicinity. (16th
