On Sunday, May 3, Bishop Richard Sklba administered the sacrament of confirmation to 82 students. Con-celebrants of the Mass were Fr. Tom Eichenberger and Fr. Justin Lopina. Those confirmed received the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit which are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and wonder and awe (also called fear of the Lord). May the gifts they received through confirmation guide them as they enter adulthood and throughout their lives. Click to view gallery.

On Saturday, June 15, Fr. Patrick Burns was formally installed as the pastor of St. Francis Borgia Parish. The ceremony was held during the 4:30 p.m. Mass at the North Church, with Archbishop Jerome Listecki presiding. On this special occasion, the Knights of Columbus served as an honor guard during the entrance procession. Fr. Patrick concelebrated the Mass along with former pastor Fr. Tom Eichenberger and several other priests. During the installation, the archbishop spoke about the importance and role of the pastor in the life of the parish. Then he "introduced" Fr. Patrick to his parish staff, the members of the finance and pastoral councils, and the trustees, as if they were meeting for the first time. Upon their introduction, each one proceeded to the altar and shook Fr. Patrick's hand. After Mass, parishioners congratulated Fr. Patrick in the gathering space and in the church hall where a reception was held in his honor.
