  Second Year of Confirmation Preparation                               2021 – 2022 Schedule

          The Goals for 10^th Grade students are to gain a better understanding of the sacrament of Confirmation, to increase their knowledge of the Catholic faith, and enhance their relationship with God.
  There is an expectation that students will participate in all Sunday classes, complete assignments, attend the Sponsor and Student Dinner, and participate in the Retreat. The schedule and class lesson themes are below. Classes are from 7pm to 8pm.  If needed, additional classes may be added to the schedule. If your teen is unable to attend a class, please contact Arthur Cassidy at [email protected].
