Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone confirmed 45 adults, representing 15 parishes in the archdiocese, at St. Mary’s Cathedral Nov. 23. “Now that you are confirmed, go forth to proclaiming Christ alone as the king of your life,” the archbishop told Catholic San Francisco in summing up his message to the group. In confirmation, says the U.S. Catechism for Adults, Catholics are deepened in their baptismal life and called to be missionary witnesses of Christ in their families, neighborhoods, society and the world.
