The final (all required to attend) Confirmation retreat will be held at the church on Saturday, Oct 3, 2015, from 10:30 a.m. and end approximately at 3:30.  The Rite of Election(Enrollment of Names) Prayer Service with Father Paul will begin around 3:00 in the church, and parents should plan to attend.  All students should plan to arrive NO LATER THAN 10:00 a.m., with a parent, to sign you in. The church will open at 9:00 a.m.

Any parent who did not volunteer at the Spring Outdoor Retreats, is expected to stay and help with this retreat. A Sponsor may attend in place of a parent.

Please dress casually, and bring $2.00 for lunch.  You may bring a refillable water bottle. Please bring a snack/dessert to share!!
Parents should bring a lunch or may grab something on the lunch break.

The retreat is a day of small and large group activities, with an emphasis on Discipleship and the challenges young men & women of faith confront in today’s culture.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit and how to recognize them in ourselves and each other are also part of the day’s sessions.  There will be a 30 minute lunch break.

Father Paul will be offering Reconciliation to all Confirmation students immediately following the Prayer Service.  Reconciliation is recommended prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. All students will be encouraged to receive.

An email will be sent to all families to confirm attendance and parent volunteers for the day.
