Confirmation ceremony at Notre Dame New York

Famille Debout team attended the Confirmation mass at Notre Dame Church in Manhattan last Sunday, May 7th. The stunning ceremony took place at 10 am, where a small group of teens, mostly of french descent, received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

After the Confirmation mass Famille Debout team raised awareness about a fundraising event that will take place on June 11, 2017.

The aim of the fundraising event is to raise funds to build 2 primary schools in Africa. More information about the event will be posted on the website next week.

Here are a few pictures of Famille Debout team after the Confirmation mass:
