Confirmation '98, Let the Spirit Soar

One Thousand three hundred Roman Catholic members of Melfort, St. Brieux, Tisdale, Porcupine Plain, Hudson Bay, Mistatim, Carrot River, Arborfield, Zenon Park, Nipawin, and Choiceland shared in the confirmation of 130 young people Sunday May 24 in the Tisdale RecPlex. Prince Albert Bishop Morand presided over the event explaining the three year exploration of the trinity initiated by the Vatican last year and this year focusing on the Spirit. The event was blended into a concert of experience and spiritual renewal by the outstanding contribution made by the forty person combined choir with soloist, keyboard, violins, guitar and trumbone accompaniment. Spaning over three hours the celebration not only brought the communities together but it also focused on the right of passage of their youth.
		The level of organisation was extra-ordinary with over twenty ushers, three clergy and the Bishop working together to make this event seem effortless. From arrival to registration, to photographs and the ceramony both group and individual, a fluid and harmonious spirit prevailed. On the left is a picture of the registration desk while below is a picture showing the expanse of the congregation and the choir, who's music filled the room from 2:30 until 6:00.
