Dear Parents,
I hope you are doing well! We’re officially on our way to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with your child! Our first session went well and I’m getting ready for the first Confirmation class with your child.
If your child is at Saint Andrew School: I will meet with them during the school day on Thursday, October 25, 2018.
If your child is in Religious Education: I will meet with them on Sunday, October 21, 2018 at 4:00pm in the chapel.
Either way, the important event for your child is their first of two Confirmation retreats which will be completed through attendance at Holy Fire at the UIC Pavilion. You can get an idea of what they will attend by the video below.
If your child is at Saint Andrew School: We are planning to attend Holy Fire as part of a school field trip on Friday, October 26, 2018.
If your child is in Religious Education: We will attend on Saturday, October 27, 2018 leaving from Saint Andrew Parish at 8:30am and returning at 3:30pm.
We look forward to completing this event.
Every time I email you I will send a short reminder about one of the expectations in the Confirmation program that you can get started doing…
That International Service Project in the Stewardship Hours sounds a bit tricky to do doesn’t it? Not if you plan on coming to Family Mass on Sunday, October 21, 2018 at 10:00am. After Mass, some of our delegation from the recent trip to Uganda will be giving a presentation on their trip and how you can join them in supporting our sister school and parish in Uganda. An easy way to get a whole section of the Stewardship hours marked off! Come and join us!
Have a great week!
God Bless!
