New Pentecost occurred in St Joseph Parish, Donsol, Sorsogon as one hundred eighty five parishioners from different kapilyas received the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation last November 6 at around 9:am. The solemn Eucharistic Celebration and the Sacrament of Confirmation were ministered by Most. Rev. Arturo M. Bastes, S.V.D., DD, bishop of Sorsogon, who encouraged the confirmandi to be real soldiers of Christ against every kind of evil that is thriving in our time. In his Homily, His Excellency specifically called the youths, who composed the majority of those who were confirmed, to fight illegal drugs and abuses to the environment. They were also reminded that as sharers of the priestly, prophetic and kingly ministry of Christ, they are bound to pray, be witnesses of the the Word and stewards of creation.
The confirmandi were prepared through the series of pre-sacramental instructions conducted at St. Joseph Parish and at different kapilyas by the Parish Catechists. Holy Hour with Confession was also held a day before the said event.
