Helping with this year's Confirmation ceremony
During Lent we commit to pay more attention to prayer, fasting and almsgiving/works of mercy.
What a perfect time to think about and journal about the Works of Mercy! Thanks to all of you who have sent in great entries. I've enjoyed reading them.
Please remember to mark your year as Confirmation 2020, the year in which you will be confirmed.
We can use your help with our Confirmation in the next month. We need help with both ushering for the ceremony and setting out and cleaning up for a simple reception. The sign up is below.
You can find ideas on these lists for things to do in your everyday life.
Here are some organized group events for you to take part in:
Help with the Religious Education Fish Fry on March 14 and 15. Many ways to volunteer are here.I am especially looking for helpers with the kids games.
Help with ushering and the reception for this year's Confirmation on April 7. Sign up here.
Help with Catholic Charities dinners on April 16 and May 14. Sign up here.
Besides these special events, look for other opportunities to help in your family, your school and your neighborhood. Also, the spiritual works of mercyare just things that might happen in the course of a day.
