Orientation - August 28, 2023, 10:30 am
This time is especially important for students preparing for Confirmation. These sessions will be focused on material relating specifically to Confirmation. They will have engaging lessons, group discussion, fellowship, and Mass! Sessions begin at 10:15 am and we will attend 11:30 Mass together. Parents, sponsors, families are welcomed and encouraged to join us for Mass.
Should students be absent for any reason, the session will need to be made up. Please call or text Melissa Harshbarger at 225-937-8587 if you will not make the class. Parents will be called if the candidate does not show up.
Complete the registration form by September 11, 2021. Confirmation registration is $55 and covers the cost of all materials and the retreat. If this is a hardship, please let me know.

Requirements for a sponsor:
At the Confirmation Mass, you will be introduced to the Bishop by your Saint name. This is a very biblical practice. Throughout the Bible, you find times where God made a covenant with someone and their name was changed. This signified a radical transformation in their lives as they followed God. Some examples of this are Abram to Abraham, Saul to Paul, Simon to Peter. If you haven't chosen a Saint name, don't worry! We will talk about choosing a Saint Name in our sessions! A good place to start might be your first or middle name if you have a name attributed to a Saint. You might also look at your interests and research Saints who may be patrons of your interest. And then pray about it! Ask God for help in choosing your Saint name and then see who God might be revealing to you.
