Confirmation

Confirmation classes start on Saturday, October 8
 with a Work Day at church.  
Please choose two hours of service between 8 am -- 12 pm.  
Then on Sunday, October 9, Confirmation classes
10:30 am -- 1 pm.  
After that, meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month

If your child is starting 5th grade this year, you are invited to start
in this class.  It is a two year program.  After the first year, the
student will receive his/her first communion.  After the second
year, he/she will be confirmed.

To help offset the cost of the Catechism and the lunch, we are
asking that first year students pay $20 and second year students
to pay $10 for lunch.

If you have any questions, please talk to Pastor Massey
