As we approach the month of May and our Confirmation Mass we have made some updates. At this time we feel it is important that we celebrate three Confirmation Masses instead of one. We will use the model we used in the Fall for our last Confirmation Class. This model was well executed and followed all the protocols to keep everyone in attendance safe.
Also, your teens should all be working their way through their at home Confirmation retreats. Please see below on information for both the Confirmation Mass and the Confirmation Retreat.

Confirmation Masses: We will celebrate three Confirmation Masses in total; in addition to our original Mass on May 5, 2021 we will also celebrate a Confirmation Liturgy on May 4, 2021 and May 6, 2021. All three Masses will begin at 7pm in the Church. Each Mass will have 25 spots available for families to sign up for on Sign Up Genius. In addition to the candidate and sponsor only immediate family will be able to attend (parents and siblings), all three Masses will be live streamed for extended family and friends to watch. The Candidates and sponsors are asked to arrive at 6:15pm and the rest of the family at 6:45pm. Our walk through for Confirmation will be our final session in April. We ask that all sponsors attend that event if they are local. If the sponsor is out of town and cannot make that evening a parent may stand in the sponsors place. Please use this link for Confirmation Masses to sign up for the Mass you would like to attend.

Retreat *PLEASE READ*: Your teens should be working through their Confirmation Retreat packet they received at our January meeting. Our retreat this year will be focused on their personal relationship with God. We encourage you to look through it with your teens because there are many things you can do as a family to help them with their retreat. The goal of the retreat is that they are able to spend some moment with God in personal prayer every day. Some days this may look like one minute of thanking God for the blessings of the day, other days going to Mass, family prayer time, etc. Parents MUST SIGN the packet before it comes back to us in March. There will be no in person meeting in February. Our next meeting will be in March.

Times and Place. Confirmation Preparation will meet in the CHURCH for March and April sessions. We have two time slots available: 5:30pm-6:30pm and 7pm-8pm.
