Riley and Aidan both received the Sacrament of Confirmation this evening.
How special it has been for the two of them to share receiving the Sacraments together.
When Aidan started CCD in first grade we decided to try homeschooling Riley for CCD. We knew at that age that he wouldn't be able to handle the regular CCD classroom. It worked well for a few years and then they began offering a Special Needs CCD class and Riley transitioned beautifully to attending that.
Now, after seven years of Religious education, both my boys are being Confirmed...
together !!!
Many years ago I might not have believe this was possible for Riley.
Riley took the name of St. Peter
Riley Connor Peter Boyle
Aidan took the name of St. Christopher
Aidan Sean Christopher Boyle
My mom was Riley's sponsor...
And my dad was Aidan's sponsor...
The boys wore the same monogrammed ties that I had made for their First Communion four years ago.
