Interview Process, Seating Arrangements, Letter to the Bishop DUE, and...
Hi Confirmation families AND WELCOME SPONSORS!
TWO HUGE announcements below, but first, important reminders:
**and remember that this is ALL on the Confirmation page: https://www.stjames-parish.com/confirmation/

Your request to be Confirmed is DUE. Hand it into your catechist in class THIS WEEK.

If you have not submitted (or are not sure if you did), please do so immediately
Once you have completed a service or activity, let us know what you did & how it went.


Pray for yourselves and fellow candidates as your Confirmation Mass approaches,
Your Confirmation Team

Confirmation Interview (April 6-20)
  • 10 people have agreed to be part of this process for you.
  • Candidates cannot interview with their parent or sponsor.
  • Candidates, please copy Mary Ann on all emails (maehr@stjames-parish.com) to the interviewer you choose.
  • Adult interviewers, please copy Bryan on all emails (bramsey@stjames-parish.com.) This helps us know that everyone is having a conversation and a safe environment requirement.
  • Please look at your schedule now, email the person of your choice and set up a date. 
  • Please give your adult a few choices of dates and times that work best for you.
  • Please schedule your interview by no later than April 1st.
  • In-person interviews are preferable and must take place at St. James (indoors or outside.) You can also schedule Zoom or phone conversations this year.
You are encouraged to reflect on them, take notes and bring to your interview; though, remember this is a conversation. There are no right or wrong answers. Your experience and feedback is helpful to create the best experience possible for future candidates.
  • Best times for in-person interviews (must take place at St. James) are Tuesday evenings, Saturdays around Mass time and anytime Sunday
  • We will try to be flexible if another time is needed for an in-person interview

TWO Confirmation Masses
Monday, May 3rd (Rehearsal May 2)  AND  Friday, May 14th (Rehearsal May 13)
Both rehearsals and Masses are at 7pm.

Confirmation Mass Signup & Seating Restrictions
We need to get a count of how many of you will be there. Each candidate is allowed 8 people total (candidate, sponsor, parents, family, guests) to attend the Mass. We want to ensure people’s safety and make everyone feel comfortable with the current health conditions. Knowing these numbers will help us with seating arrangements as well.
To help keep attendance down and to help your family and friends stay safe, we will be live streaming the Confirmations. We will share a link closer to the date so keep an eye on your email.

If you decide that you are not comfortable participating in Confirmation at this time, please let us know right away so we make arrangements for a later date. If this is you, don't worry, we are happy to make it work at a later date.
