  • Jazlyn Therese (of Lisieux) Batista, Sponsor – Juan Santos

We thank the Prime Bishop for his celebration of Mass, preaching the Word of God and administering the Sacrament of Confirmation. We congratulate our new confirmands, their sponsors, family members and friends. I also thank Deacon Mark and Deacon Bill for helping me in preparing our students for this important sacrament.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is the sacrament through which we receive gifts of the Holy Spirit to make us soldiers of Christ, ready to profess our faith in word and deed. There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, strength, godliness and fear of the Lord. Confirmation imprints on our souls that sacramental character which gives us the strength needed to profess and defend our Christian faith. (Catechism PNCC)

The New confirmands were invited to participate in different ministries in our parish such as lectors, substitute teachers in our School of Christian Living, members of Adoration Society and other groups. God bless you all.

God Bless Josh

Events, Parish Life, PNCC /

We congratulate Chirag and Aarti Taylor on the baptism of their precious son, Josh. Proud godparents were, Al and Jennifer Nurdjaja. The Sacrament of Baptism and later Confirmation is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through the Sacrament of Baptism-Confirmation we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church.

As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As Jesus won new life for us on the cross, with the symbol of the cross, David was marked to receive the new life in the Lord. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave new life and led to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
