Confirmation

Retreat - April 21-23, 2023

Classes are in full swing for this year's Confirmation class! We wanted to remind you that the retreat for this year will be April 21st-23rd. This year our retreat will be held at Camp Lookout! We will have more information about the retreat for you soon but we ask that you make sure to block that weekend off for your student! If they are unable to attend, they will still be able to be confirmed but please let us know so we can still make sure they get all the information they need before Confirmation Sunday! You can email Tori at tcrook@firstcentenary.com to let her know if your student will be able to make it or not!

We are looking for 2 male chaperones for this trip. Please let us know if you are available for the weekend!!
