Confirmation Preparation

Classes for 2020-2021 are being held primarily online.

Program Components for All Grades

Daily: we will be providing each family with a daily faith journal, which will contain ideas for prayer at home - and we ask you to make a family commitment to it.

Weekly: all students will receive and use the Pflaum Gospel Weekly curriculum, which is a program we have piloted in Grades 3 and 5 for the past few years. The Weeklies are based on the Sunday Gospel reading for the week and contain age-appropriate teachings and activities. We ask that these lessons be completed weekly with parent involvement. We also very strongly encourage weekly worship, whether that’s in person at church or via our online Mass on YouTube (https://bit.ly/SHOLVideos)

Monthly: as a family, we ask you to choose one of five monthly online gatherings (all five will be the same content for the month). The five options will be at various days and times with the hope of accommodating families’ busy schedules. Modules will be led by a staff person or catechist and will be appropriate for all ages and grades - and for adults as well! Please see the Calendar page for dates.

For Those Preparing for Confirmation

Grade 9: In addition to the expectations listed above, those in Grade 9 Confirmation preparation will need to answer two or three questions each month, following the monthly gathering. Questions will be provided to you and will be due in written form about a week later.

Grade 10: In addition to the expectations listed above, those in Grade 10 Confirmation preparation will have six Sunday night online classes beginning in late February, leading towards Confirmation in the spring. Those dates are Sundays, 7:00-8:00pm: February 28, March 7, March 14, March 21, March 28, and April 11.
