• Confirmation program opens path to sacrament for 9 Catholics (thecatholicspirit.com) — A specialized confirmation program for Catholics with intellectual and developmental disabilities holds its preparation classes at St. Richard in Richfield, offering a shorter, more accessible format for teens and adults. Led by Deacon Eric Gunderson, the archdiocesan program uses simple materials, rehearsals, and sensory-aware practices before a quieter confirmation Mass in St. Paul. Families say it allows loved ones to fully share in an important sacrament.
