Bishop Estanislao Dowlaszewicz confirms 91 in Parroquia María Asunta

Bishop Estanislao Dowlaszewicz, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Santa Cruz, administered the sacrament of confirmation to 91 people at María Asunta Parish on Sunday, October 18.

The group included 82 young people and nine adults from the Virgen de las Gracias, Divina Misericordia, Espíritu Santo, and Virgen de Cotoca chapels. The ceremony took place during Mass at the Virgen de Cotoca Chapel and was concelebrated by Father Juan Kukla, the parish priest of María Asunta.

During the celebration, Bishop Dowlaszewicz told the recipients to live their faith through concrete actions rather than just words. He said the sacrament marks the beginning of a stage where prayer, Eucharist participation, ongoing formation, and service to others become especially important.
