Dear Parents and Confirmation Candidates,
I am pleased to inform you that the Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in
our parish community on *Thursday, November 16, 2006 with Rev. Msgr. Richard L.
Tofani officiating.
Due to the size of the 8th grade class the Sacrament of Confirmation will be
celebrated during two ceremonies at 4:00PM and 7PM.
4:00PM Last name beginning with the letter L – Z
7:00PM Last name beginning with the letter A – K
Due to the fact that there will be two Confirmation Ceremonies, there will be no need
to distribute tickets for these celebrations. The time assigned to your child cannot be
changed.
Please mark your calendar with this important date and time as well as the
remaining preparation requirements that are to be completed between now and the
time our Confirmation Candidates receive Confirmation:
Thursday, October 26 – Confirmation Candidate Interviews and Reconciliation –
Appointments will be scheduled in September. These interviews will take place
between the hours of 6:45PM and 8:45PM. There will be no Religious Education
class for 8th grade on Wednesday October 25, 2006.
Thursday, November 2, 2006 – Confirmation Retreat 7:00 PM – 9 PM – Mandatory

Sunday, November 12, 2006 – Confirmation Candidates’ Mass – 8:00AM. The Rite
of Elect will be celebrated with the parish community at the 8:00am liturgy to mark
the final phase of preparation for all Candidates. Parents are invited and
encouraged to join their child at this important liturgy.

This is the only required rehearsal.
Group 1 – Last Name L - Z 7:00PM – 7:45PM Practice
Group 2 – Last Name A - K 8:00PM - 8:45PM Practice
If a sponsor cannot be present, a parent should substitute for him/her and then
communicate seat assignment, specific directions, information, etc. so he/she will be
prepared to participate at the Confirmation celebration.
Thursday, November 16th – Sacrament of Confirmation celebrations. Details
regarding robes, dress for the day, when to report, etc will be given at a later date.
Congratulations to our candidates. Most students have completed their
assignments on time, have participated in all scheduled activities and have
performed a large variety of Christian service projects in our community. (If your
child has paper work still to be completed please drop it off before their first class).
They are to be commended for their efforts and positive attitudes.
Thank you all for your continued support and cooperation. Our students and our
parish community benefit from parents, teachers and staff working together. Please
do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Kathleen M. Kraemer Patricia Hafner
