"The most important day of my life"
Brian on his confirmation day
Brian said the most important day of his life was his confirmation, May 17th, 1992. In his confirmation journal he wrote: "Death and resurrection is a sacred, but happy event. There is life after death."
Brian's confirmation mentor said this about him: "I found out early on that Brian was no ordinary 15-year old... he formed very clear and mature ideas about his life and the world around him. He took the risk of being open, honest, and candid... His spiritual faith had the confidence of a 50-year-old, not the average 15-year-old.
On this day, we reflect on Brian and the confidence you have in his Foundation.
