Parent Primary Gathering 1/9/22: At this gathering information will be given about how to choose a sponsor; registration; and final information about the program itself.  MEETING HANDOUT

PARENTS - WE NEED YOU! During COVID many of our previous Confirmation catechists retired, and in order to run classes of a reasonable size we need people who are willing to facilitate discussion in the classrooms!  Please contact Karen Yasik if you are interested and willing to help your child and their classmates through this preparation for the sacrament!

If you would like to receive text reminders, text the code @kyasik to the phone number 81010.  I will only send reminders of last minute service or socials, or something important like a change due to weather or COVID!

Sponsor Meeting 5/15/22:  There will be an information gathering held for all sponsors on May 15th, 2022 at 1PM.  Please be sure to let your sponsor (or a parent if sponsor unavailable) know.  Info about the meeting will be emailed to all sponsors in advance.

It is yet to be determined if we will maintain the changes to classes for 2022.  Some were made in response to COVID.  All forms are now online as well as online payment for the sacramental prep fee.
