If you know you have a conflict and cannot make it to a required event, please contact Cathy Cress ([email protected] or 952-807-1087)

If you miss the retreat, you will need to attend another retreat before the end of the Faith Formation year. It is the responsibility of the Confirmation student to contact local parishes and to make arrangements to attend a different retreat. A brief essay (no less than 300 words) must be turned in no later than one week after attendance of the make-up retreat.

101 questions requirement: You will be receiving a packet of questions about the Roman Catholic Church that you should know before confirmation. It is a family activity that should be completed by the above due date.

Lifeline Mass AND Presentation (both Mass and presentation are required): A bus will be provided on January 10, 2015. All students need to write a reflection essay of their experience (no less than 300 words) due one week after attendance of Lifeline Mass.
