Thank you for joining us last night for the information Zoom meeting for the 2020-21 Confirmation Program.

IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO JOIN US, or would like a refresher, please watch this video first.

Each candidate is asked to complete one of their reports at the time of registration. CLICK HERE to be taken to the report outlines.

The report that is due within two weeks of the online registration is "My Desire to Join the Program".

If your child wants to write "Because my mother or father is making me!" Let them do so. Trust me I have heard it many times. Even let them write "I am not sure God exists". I have heard that one many times too! I would rather have honesty than something they think I want to hear.

Your child can email the report to me when it is complete.

PLEASE REGISTER ONLINE even before the report is completed.

I forgot to mention last night during the meeting that we will be using the Catholic Youth Bible during the virtual meetings.

This is the SAME Bible used in the 7th and 8th grade program.

If you are new to the program or joining us after attending a parochial elementary school and would like to purchase a copy of this Bible, please email me. The cost of this hardcover Bible is $25.

NOTE: It will take approximately fifteen minutes to complete all the forms online. You will NOT be able to save partial forms and return later.

THINGS TO HAVE HANDY AHEAD OF TIME:

I am hoping some parents will come forward who are willing to facilitate the Zoom meetings with the candidates. If we are able to move into a classroom setting after January 1st, I hope you would stay with the group as well as their small group leader.

I will train you and give you all the materials you will need in order to conduct the sessions. I will be teaching one session each month if you wanted to observe each session before having to teach it yourself.

Please consider this area of ministry for our young people. If you are ready to commit, please email me today. Or, take some time and you will be able to volunteer on the registration form.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to email or call the office.

Sincerely,

Glen
