Confirmation
Spring 2021 Confirmation
Confirmation will be on
Saturday April 17 at 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM
Monsignor Powers will do the Confirmation.
The division into two ceremonies allows us to give each family their own pew and maintain appropriate distancing. The ceremony will be a Confirmation only - i.e. there will be no mass. It will run about half an hour. Each pew holds 10 - 12 people. Remember to count your confirmand and the sponsor in your pew number.
REHEARSALS
We have only one class date remaining which is Sunday April 11 at 5PM in Holy Family Hall.
General Confirmation Guidelines

The Bishop prefers that Confirmation Gowns be worn.
