Confirmation Program

Our 7th and 8th grade Home Learning Plan has five components as detailed below. 

1. Parent/Student Zoom Meetings

There will be a mandatory Zoom parent meeting mid/late September.  Instructions for pick up of materials will be emailed prior to the meetings. There will be two separate meetings one for 7th grade and the another for 8th grade.  Details of the HLP, Confirmation preparation, including Stewardship and any questions will be discussed at the meetings. In addition, a parent/student zoom meeting for 6th and 7th grade will be held in October to review a summer week long stewardship experience. If students attend the summer program, the stewardship projects requirement will be fulfilled for both years.

2.  Live Streamed Mass Attendance/Mass Attendance

As the celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives as Catholics, students are to attend mass or a live streaming mass regularly utilizing their home mass kit which will be provided. 

3. At home learning

At home learning will consist of completing one lesson per week using the provided resource materials including online assessments and in unit assessments. A lesson plan guide will be included in each student packet and reviewed at the parent/student meetings.  

4. Catechist led lessons

View zoom lessons led by catechist (20-30 minutes). Lessons will be on our website and password protected per class. 

5. Stewardship Projects

Each student is expected to complete five stewardship projects during each Confirmation preparation year for a total of ten projects. A list of suggested projects will be provided at the parent/student meeting.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

In Christ,

Karen Dill 

The Confirmation and rehearsal scheduled for next week have been canceled.  Msgr Benwell and I recommended this action to the Bishop's office due to the closing of the school districts of our students and input from several of you.   Bishop Checchio agreed with this recommendation.

Given the evolving nature of this medical crisis, Confirmation has not been rescheduled at this time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Praying all of our families stay healthy.
