    • What is the purpose of the assignments?


      This is a series of assignments intended to gradually lead you, the candidate, successfully along your journey to the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.  All of the assignments are important steps on your journey.  Most can be accessed by clicking the appropriate buttons above.  
       
      • Please be sure your Baptismal & First Communion certificate is on file with Marlen Coles.  If you can't find it, you'll need to contact the parish in which you were baptized and request a new certificate - DON'T PUT THIS OFF!  Sometimes it takes time to receive a new certificate. 
       
      • Occasional Faith questions/quizzes to ensure that you are growing in your knowledge of our Catholic Faith (Years 1 and 2).
       
      • Service Selection (Service selection is required for EACH of the years of Confirmation prep) - engage in service opportunities within our parish, both in liturgical and non-liturgical ministries, and to reflect on the experience in terms of lifelong discipleship. For students during 2020-2021 school year, please make your service selections no later than November 22, 2020. 
       
      • Discipleship Report - submit a reflection on the experience you had with the service you did this year.  Report due Year 1 - April 18, 2021 for Year 2 - due March 14, 2021
       
      • The Mass Reflections Sheets  is an opportunity to help us be more attentive during Mass, apply the readings to our live and grow in our relationship with Christ and those around us. Please reflect and submit the Mass reflection sheets at our monthly workshops or submit the reflections online.
       
      • Faith Journey Reflection - reflect on your personal faith journey thus far by thoughtfully and honestly answering each of the questions provided (to be completed by Year 1 - April 18, 2021; Year 2 - March 14, 2021)
       
      • Choosing a Sponsor and Submitting the Sponsor Eligibility Form (should be completed by April of Year 1 so your sponsor can participate with you throughout Year 2).  Consider who plays a significant role in your spirtual life and would be a good choice for a sponsor.  If you have difficulty deciding on a sponsor, please speak with your catechist, mentor or Mrs. Marlen Coles.  For Confirmation Year 2 students during the 2020-2021school year:  If you haven't already done this, please submit the completed, signed, and sealed form to me no later than January 24, 2021.  DON'T PUT THIS OFF!  Sometimes it takes time to get these completed forms submitted.  For those at a distance, the form may be mailed to me at the address noted on the bottom of the form. 
       
      • Confirmation Name and Saint Report (Confirmation Year 2 should have their saint name and report done by January 24, 2021.  Confirmation Year 1 should be done by April 18, 2021). Examine the lives of several saints to learn how they aligned their lives to follow Jesus, and select one as a role model, taking his/her name as a Confirmation name
       
      • Letter to Pastor (Year 1 - final version completed and submitted to Marlen Coles by April 18, 2021 workshop; Year 2 - final version completed & submitted to Marlen Coles by November 22, 2020 . Reflect on all your experiences throughout this preparation and then request, in writing, your desire to continue the preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation from our pastor, Fr Alain.
