Confirmation Lesson - April 3rd, 2020
Dear Families,

Please click the links below for the Confirmation lesson plan. Students will need to submit their answers to the quiz by next Friday, April 10.

We'll be covering Ch. 14 of the Chosen lessons, which focuses on the Sacrament of Confirmation itself. Confirmation perfects the grace of Baptism, empowering us to be followers of the Lord and co-workers for the kingdom (see Catechism of the Catholic Church 1316).

Click here for the introduction and definition of key terms.
(After reviewing the above information, watch the Chosen video segments for Ch. 14, using the directions provided in last week's e-mail. Then proceed to the quiz and discussion questions.)

Having consulted with Fr. Rask and Fr. Daly, it has been decided that in light of the COVID-19 situation, all service project requirements are hereby waived. We do, however, encourage the students to prayerfully reflect on ways in which they can serve God's people, either from home or when the pandemic has abated.

In Christ,

Nathan Stewart

Resources for Parents
In this video from Ascension Presents, Fr. Mike explains how hope is knowing that we have Jesus and knowing that we need him. This hope can empower us to courageously get through our darkest hours.

Family Discussion
Let's Talk!
At some point this week, ask your child (and yourselves!) the following question and spend about five to ten minutes discussing it.

"Have you ever thought God was asking you to do something outside of your 'comfort zone'? Have you ever hesitated to do the right thing because people around you might not understand?"
