There are many
practices of worship in the Roman Catholic religion. Worshiping could be
anything: basic prayer, the seven sacraments, or public worship (Sunday mass).
Each experience of worship has different meanings in Roman Catholicism,
effecting people in many different ways. One of the more noteworthy practices
that HNHS students have experienced is one of the seven sacraments,
confirmation. Confirmation is said to be a time where a catholic confirms their
beliefs. Through this sacrament, a person becomes a “spiritual adolescent;”
that is, they mature in the way they communicate with God and in conveying his
message. Confirmation involves receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In a
way, it is a reenactment of when the Holy Spirit came down on the apostles and
gave them strength to teach as Jesus did.
Diocese of
Talibon realized the importance of this sacrament and understood perfectly the
reason why the people from the island barangays can’t receive this. So they
made a major sacrifice by outreaching the remote areas to conduct Confirmation.
Handumon folks were blessed to be part of this advocacy and Handumon
National High School joined and supported this activity. HNHS with the
collaboration of the barangay prepared a short program to honor Rev. Fr.
Patrick Parcon and a dinner closed the activity.
