35 young adults received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday, 24 November, 2009, at St. Mary's Church, Dubai, at an impressive, solemn High Mass.  H.E. Bishop Paul Hinder came from Abu Dhabi especially for the occasion, and administered the Sacrament.  The group had been prepared for the Sacrament over the last 2-1/2 months by dedicated Catechists and Sisters of Comboni Convent.  The group comprised several nationalities like Pakistani, American, Nigerian, Sri Lankan together with a mix of Philipinos and Indians, thus representing in the fullest sense the cosmopolitan congregation of St. Mary’s and the universality of our Catholic Church.   Several of these young adults are getting married shortly, so we pray that their marriages be happy and healthy.  God bless them all !
