Saint Isidore Confirmation I & II 2007-2008 FAQ's
|
- Who should register for Confirmation I & II preparation?
Any young person in high school, public, private, or parochial who has not yet been confirmed may register as a Confirmation candidate. Typically those young people who are in grade 9 would register for Confirmation I and those in grade 10 for Confirmation II. The sacrament of Confirmation is usually conferred on candidates in the spring of Grade 10. Confirmation I & II students must complete BOTH the GOF and Confirmation forms included in this mailing.
- What if you have already been Confirmed?
High school students who have already been confirmed are welcome, invited, and encouraged to attend the Generations of Faith sessions and participate either in the High School or adult break-out groups.
- Where does Confirmation preparation take place?
All levels of Confirmation preparation will take place at St. Isidore parish. Candidates in both the Confirmation I and II levels are expected to attend all of our Generations of Faith sessions, which include a separate break-out session for them. Confirmation I & II sessions are held at the Sunday night GOF sessions ONLY. Confirmation II candidates will also participate in 8 additional sessions as noted on the preliminary calendar.
- Where/when will Confirmation II candidates be confirmed?
The parish staff has submitted a request to the Bishops office for a spring 2008 date at St. Isidore parish; we have not yet received a reply from them. Once we receive a firm date we will notify you.
- What about Christian service, retreats and speakers?
A parent meeting is scheduled for all Confirmation I & II parents/guardians on September 19, 2007 at 7:30 PM at St Isidore. A final calendar which will include details for service, retreats and speakers will be distributed.
- Is there a program fee for Confirmation II?
Yes, the program fee is for Confirmation II candidates ONLY and is $60; it will cover all materials, supplies, speaker stipends, and retreats. This fee may be included with your GOF registration or paid anytime before September 1, 2007.
