2016 Confirmation Ceremony | St Charles Church in San Carlos, CA
If you follow Barbara Bell Photography on Facebook you’ve already seen some of the photographs from the 2016 Confirmation Ceremony at St. Charles Church in San Carlos, California, and if you follow along on Instagram, you know I’ve decreed it Year of the Bow Tie!
I mean, how fab do these guys look?? Am I right?!
The Confirmation Ceremony in the Roman Catholic Church is one of seven sacraments. A sacrament is a religious ceremony or an act of the Christian Church that is considered an outward and visible sign of a commitment to your faith.
Confirmation is, in fact, the sacrament where young adults make a commitment to their faith with a sponsor by their side. This article “What is Confirmation in the Catholic Church?” goes into great detail about the ceremony and beliefs behind being “confirmed.”
I’ve captured this ceremony at St. Charles Church for almost 10 years now, and this is what I see:
Families and friends who come together to celebrate this milestone event
Leaders in the Church who take time to talk with their people
Joy in the quiet moments that make up our lives
What a lovely way for me to spend my Saturday! Thank you for allowing me to capture these moments. It reminds me with every click of my shutter that the details of our lives matter.
