The Holy Spirit is Here

This page is for testimonies from youth to be confirmed, their sponsors, parents, and teachers of how they have witnessed persons using a gift of the Holy Spirit in their life.

  Wisdom      Understanding   Counsel          Fortitude          Knowledge          Piety              
                       Fear of the Lord (reverence)

How has someone made "the choice" to be their best?  How has someone not held back in doing their best?  How has someone acted with Jesus in mind?  How have they prayed for inspiration?  How has the sacred scriptures inspired them?  How has the Eucharist transformed them?  How has the Holy Spirit prompted them?  How has the Church been their anchor?  How have they spread the Good News of the Gospel?  How have they exhibited their holiness?   

You can share your thoughts in the comments section below - or - share what you have witnessed with your teacher, Fr. Fred, Mrs. Gerke, Deacon John and tell them it is okay to post what you have witnessed on this page.  Posts can be anonymous.

  6. I was assigned to choose someone in my life with the gift of fortitude and in my opinion I think that it would be my mother with the gift of fortitude because she is always willing to do the right thing that would help us and sometimes even people she doesn't know.

    Fortitude: The courage and strength of will to do what you know should, even if that means personal loss or suffering.
