Dear Parents and Guardians,
We're almost there! We celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation next week! Thank you for all you have done to accompany your child in preparation for this milestone in their faith development.
We concluded our final class on January 7, 2024 and I haven't had a chance to email the link for a recording of the session (which comes from 2021) but is a way for candidates to make up what they missed. If your child missed, January 7th's meeting, the can watch the video to make up the session.
Thank you to parents who have been submitting to me their child's reflections and final snapshots of their preparation. A reminder, that I must have your child's correct spelling of names, sponsor, and saint name by Friday! If you haven't already done so, please click on the button below entitled "Confirmation Name Form" to make sure your child is included.
I have gotten a few questions about dress code for the Confirmation Mass, I have included our instructions about the dress code below.
Details about the Mass, and the rehearsal this Sunday, January 21, 2024 at 6:00pm in the main church are also below.
One final but important detail... I am looking for students who would be willing to fill some of the liturgical roles during the Mass. I need to know who they will be by Friday.
The roles include:
First Reader
Second Reader
Petition Reader
Gift Bearers
Please email me at david@standrew.org to express interest and I will offer the roles to families on a first come first serve basis.
There is also an invitation to candidates who have siblings who would like to serve the Confirmation Mass. We are in need of 5 altar servers. I also need 3 parents who will be willing to help with ushering that evening by taking the collection. For any of these roles please email me at david@standrew.org
I'm very much looking forward to the Confirmation Mass. If there are any questions, please let me know! And I will do my best to respond.
Blessings,
David Heimann
