Dear Parents and Candidates for Confirmation,
It is my great privilege to be a part of helping your candidate prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We, as a parish, need to stand before the bishop at the Confirmation Mass and attest to the preparedness of each person stepping forward to be confirmed. Since our time is short, attendance at the meetings listed below is crucial.
It is a critical part of preparation for Confirmation that anyone wishing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation in February, attend the upcoming retreat on Sunday, December 4, 2022. A parent (both are welcome) and the candidate for Confirmation must attend one of the retreat sessions.
The morning session begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1:00 p.m. The afternoon session begins at 1:30 p.m. and concludes at 6:00 p.m. Both sessions include Mass, which will fulfill your Sunday obligation. You will need to register at:

We are cancelling the parent/candidate meetings currently scheduled for November 30 or December 1.
In its place, we are having a rehearsal for Confirmation at which the confirmandi and parent or sponsor should attend on Thursday, February 9, 2023, which is three days before confirmation.
So, going forward, along with completion of the online paperwork, these are the required upcoming meetings for Confirmation:
Sunday, December 4, 2022-Confirmation Retreat-Candidate and one parent required to attend.
Sunday, January 8, Tuesday-Thursday, January 10-12, 2023 Confirmation candidate interview. To sign up for an interview slot go to: https://www.sthugo.org/222 and click on confirmation preference for interview.
Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. Rehearsal for Confirmation -Candidate and parent or sponsor
Sunday, February 12, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. Mass with the Sacrament of Confirmation.
It is very exciting to think of the Holy Spirit being activated in the confirmandi! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sharon Williams sharon.williams@sthugo.org
