Date of Confirmation

We have received word from the Archdiocese that Bishop Robert Casey will come to confirm our candidates on March 14, 2021 at 2:00 PM.  

(This is, of course, if things go according to plan.  We have all learned to schedule tentatively.)

Please mark the date on your family calendar.  We'll send more information as it becomes available.

Reduction in the Fee

One of my favorite activities with the confirmandi has been the pilgrimage in the fall.  However, due to the continuing situation with the Covid-19 emergency, scheduling this field trip is just not possible. 

As a result, we are reducing the Confirmation fee to $50, to reflect the elimination of this feature of the program. If you have already paid the fee, we will arrange for a refund for you.

Works of Mercy haven't been rescheduled

The Lord connects the Works of Mercy to our life in eternity.  So, while many things have been shelved, and we have all had to make adjustments, the Works of Mercy are still there, ready to be acted upon.
  • Pray the Prayer to the Holy Spirit each day.  Ask God to show you how you can be the most loving and giving person you can be.
     
  • You don't have the usual opportunities for doing things outside your home / neighborhood, but that doesn't mean that you have no chances to act mercifully.
     
    Remember that the Works of Mercy continue until you meet the Lord and give an accounting of your life. While our lives are a bit limited, we still have the opportunity to reach out in service to each other.  I look forward to reading your journal entries!
     
    You can find ideas on these lists for things to do in your everyday life.
