Stefanie and Rachel were both confirmed today. We are so excited for them as they take this next step in their faith journey.

The girls have been attending class for a year at St John Berchmans an English speaking Catholic Church in Munich. My friend Terry and I were their teachers. So this year was a lot of work for all of us.

The ceremony was lovely and all eleven of our students did great.

Stefanie did the first reading and Rachel the Responsorial Psalm. Both girls did a fantastic job, I love that they are brave enough and confident enough be able to "perform" in front of a group.

We were very excited that Grandma, Granny & Grandpa Teddy could all attend the mass. It's great that confirmation happened the week before AJ's graduation so they could be here for both events.
