Our Lady of Mount Carmel Youth Ministry
This Email Is Being Sent To Parents with an Incoming 9th Grader Concerning the Confirmation Program for 2022-2023
Greetings!

Welcome to the Confirmation Program and High School Youth Ministry Program!

The video to the right will give you an overview of the Confirmation Program for the 2022-23 year.

Once you watch the video, please use the link below to register.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child(ren) during this process and throughout the high school years.

Sincerely,
Glen


REPORT INFORMATION
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 one week 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.
CONFIRMATION HANDBOOK &
IMPORTANT LINKS
The information concerning Confirmation can also be found on the parish website under the "Faith Formation" tab.

CONFIRMATION HANDBOOK - This link will take you to all the information mentioned in the video.

NAME & SPONSOR GUIDELINES - Although you do not need to choose a Confirmation name or sponsor until January, here are the guidelines for who is acceptable.
CATHOLIC YOUTH BIBLE

We will be using the Catholic Youth Bible during the small group 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 OR your child needs a replacement Bible, you will be able to purchase one at the time of registration.

ONLINE FORM

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:

  • Copy of your child's baptismal certificate
  • Health Insurance Card
  • Credit Card (if paying at the time of registration)

SMALL GROUP LEADERS NEEDED

It is my hope that we will be returning to in-person small group sessions.
In order for this to occur, volunteers will be needed to run the small groups.

I will provide you with all the supplies you need as well as training.

Class sessions will be held once a month from October through May. Each session is 90 minutes long.

If you are interested in knowing more or would like to volunteer, please email me.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to email or call the office.

Sincerely,
Glen
