Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for everyone who came to our first meeting for the Saint Mary's Class of Confirmation at Saint Andrew Parish. I think we got off to a great start!
My number one concern at this time is communication which is why I asked for an independent registration system to make sure that I have your child's correct name, baptismal date, and parent information including email addresses. If you haven't done that or would like to make sure that another parent has an email address added to our distribution list, please complete the registration form below.
I will send periodic emails over the next 16 months to keep you informed about the process. Our next class for your child will be held
For RE students on Sunday, October 21, 2018 at 4:00pm in the chapel
and
For Saint Andrew School Students on Thursday, October 25, 2018 during the school day.
Also be aware that we are making plans for your child to attend Holy Fire on either October 26 or October 27. This will count as the first year retreat for your child which is a requirement for Confirmation. If there is a conflict, an alternative retreat must be completed.
One such alternative that we discussed was participation in Just 5 Days over the summer of 2019. We are planning to have a group that will participate in the experience from June 24 to June 28, 2019 and participation will satisfy all of the retreat and stewardship requirements for Confirmation. I promised you more information about this opportunity. Let's start with a video that gives students a teaser of what to expect.
More information can be found at their website at
https://www.cmdnet.org/j5dWe'll discuss this more in the coming weeks.
For now have a great week and we'll see you soon!
