Hi 8th grade Confirmation Families,
This is a reminder that we have a whole group confirmation meeting with all the 8th graders on Sunday, January 16, after the 10 am mass in the Parish Dining Hall.
We will be completing Lesson 9 in our Decison Point program so bring your workbooks. Make sure you have completed Lesson 8 at home.
If you have not turned in all your confirmation paperwork, please bring with you to this meeting.
We will also be going over instruction on our Saints projects that are due in April.
Most of us enjoy stories. We enjoy hearing stories about friends and relatives. Stories can teach us lessons we don’t even know we are learning.
The stories of the saints call us to reflect on the blessings we receive from the lives of these holy men and women. All of the saints laughed, cried, worked, played, believed, doubted, and hoped—but through it all they “acted with justice, loved tenderly, and walked humbly with their God” (Micah 6:8) in the ordinary everyday events of their lives.
It is our hope that studying the saints and preparing a project will open a whole other world of superheroes for our candidates!!
You can download the Confirmation Saints Project Guidelines below. Please discuss with your teen. We will be going over this at our group meeting.

Let us know if you have any questions.
Consider the following resources to help your teen with their research:
Excellent source of facts about each saint with some short life summaries. It is the best place to find information on patronage and important dates.
Catholic Saints
Another great source for basic information about the saints.
