Rev. Msgr. Severino G. Anatalio officiated the Ceremony. We attended the 9AM mass and proceeded to the 10:15 Confirmation. The priest pointed out that at 12 years old, kids are already receiving the sacrament of confirmation. I guess he was pretty disappointed coz half of the people there (guilty, Us included) were having themselves confirmed since it's a Church requirement for marriage.
Msgr. Anatalio's homily was also good. He said "A man without prayer, is like a tree without roots. And what happens to a tree without roots? It withers...". I think this is a quote he got from St. Augustine. I totally agree! He was a bit strict but everything he said was logical, he has a point.
If you're getting married and needs to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation (Kumpil), I'd recommend you have it at San Miguel Church. The National Shrine of St. Michael and the Archangels is located in Malacanang.
