A few more words on Confirmation... due to Covid-19, there will need to be some accommodations from what was communicated, a year ago, in the red folder.
For example, we understand that it may be difficult to complete the service hours to the parish or the community. We will accept more hours in the other categories to make up the 24 in total - we will be understanding if you have tried your very best.
Another accommodation will be that our curriculum will be switching to an online curriculum (based on parental feedback). Instead of meeting in person we will be using Called to Mercy, an online Confirmation program from St. Mary's Press, and incorporating shorter Zoom check-ins throughout the prep process. We will go over the necessary modifications at the September parent meeting.
Our backup Confirmation Retreat, scheduled to be held at Christ the King Seminary, has also been canceled. I believe all 11th-grade students made their retreat last year. If this is not the case, please contact us ASAP.
Also, Confirmation has been scheduled for November 8th at the 5:00 PM Mass. Please mark your calendars.
