Confirmation Date to be announced as soon as we receive notice from the Bishop. This year, it will probably be on a Monday in April or May with rehearsal the Sunday night before. There will also be a sending Mass at Holy Family after the last class of the year at the 5:30 pm Mass.

*** Please note that the Easter Triduum this year (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil) falls during the April vacation week for most schools this year. If traveling during April vacation, we ask that candidates are back in town for the Easter Triduum. Please contact Ms. Jessica with any concerns ***

To ensure proper sacramental preparation, students who miss more than 3 classes/sessions will be asked to repeat the year. Students are responsible for making-up and submitting work for any missed class(es) in a timely manner.

Year 2 candidates must attend a Confirmation retreat prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. If the Thursday, October 18th retreat date does not work for the candidate, please contact Ms. Jessica as soon as possible to find an approved alternate retreat.
 
The religious education office should be notified in advance (by phone or email) if student will be absent from class.

In addition to the schedule above, candidates will also be responsible for service projects/service hours throughout the year.
