We under the challenges and concerns with community service during COVID and as a result we are waiving the service requirement. With that said, we will still offer service opportunities and you can check the website or bulletin for upcoming service options.
We have sent our preferred Sacrament of Confirmation dates to the Bishop’s Office for review. Depending on COVID, we may be splitting the Confirmation group into several Masses.
24-hour Confirmation Retreat – our Confirmation Retreat is one of the best opportunities to gather as brothers and sisters in Christ and enter more fully into a relationship with Christ. At this point, we are unsure if we will be hosting overnight retreats with youth due to COVID. If it is possible, it is our intent to host the retreat January 8 & 9, 2021.
We are here for YOU & YOUR FAMILY! Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
