Talking with Chronicle.lu, Revd Alison Heal stated: "Today we have celebrated the public declaration of faith of some beloved members of our All Saints community. Bishop Alison baptised one candidate, confirmed adults and teenagers, and heard some younger members reaffirm their baptismal vows. The Bishop reminded us that Jesus Christ calls us to make a positive difference in Luxembourg and in the world. Today our candidates promised to do just that, in the power of the Holy Spirit".
