The "Why I Want to be Confirmed?" paper is due by 2/28/10 and the the Saints paper is due by 3/21/10. Father will want to meet with all of them regarding their papers so don't leave it to the last minute.
The Confirmation Retreat day will be Sunday, April 18th from 12:30 pm to 8 pm. There will be no Confirmation class that morning and the teens should come to the church on a full stomach. We will do snacks and supper. This is a mandatory retreat, not an option! Also, we will have mass as a group at 5 pm that night and then supper, prayers, and wrap up after that.
We will have a small mass service on Thursday, April 22nd at 6:30 pm with Confession to follow for all the teens being confirmed. Their families are encouraged to attend as well. There will be several priests available and the sacrament of Penance is needed before they make their Confirmation on Saturday the 24th at 1 pm at St. Catherine's in Columbia. This will probably be about 1 1/2 hours long give or take.
