Dear Parents,
What’s next for Confirmation preparation after the retreat this Sunday, October 6? Great question!
I want to keep you posted on things because quickly after the retreat this Sunday, we have upcoming events in Confirmation Preparation of which you should be aware.
Service Projects and Stewardship Hours
I know that I had listed them before, but I didn’t provide information about signing up for the service projects. Every student should have been working on logging the hours for their Stewardship Hours over the last year. Here is an additional copy of the form which they can use to log their hours.

In the expectations of the program, candidates were also to expected to do at least one of the four service projects that would be organized by the church and done together as a group. The next opportunity for one of these four projects is next Saturday, October 12, 2019 at Feed My Starving Children in Schaumburg (740 Wiley Farm Ct, Schaumburg IL -- no transportation will be provided to this event via Saint Andrew).

Next Step with Sponsors
Just to ready you for things coming up in our calendar, there is a class for all candidates with their sponsors on Sunday, November 10, 2019 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm in the parish Auditorium. Just the like mandatory meeting last Spring, this meeting is a guided conversation between the candidate and the sponsor. Therefor, if a sponsor cannot be in attendance at the meeting, another adult may step in and represent the sponsor.
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I’ll keep you posted as things are coming up in our preparation for Confirmation. It will be good to see you child(ren) this Sunday for the retreat at the National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini!
God bless,
