CONFIRMATION
(Grade 9-12)

Picture

Welcome to Confirmation Preparation! We're so excited!

Program Overview

Target Age Group

This program is intended for youth in 9-12th grade of Fall 2022.
For persons beyond this range, please contact Shirley Allen at sallen@stmaryhuntley.org

Retreat Options: October 1st or October  2nd @ 9 am - 4 pm 

We will begin the year with a retreat to introduce each teen to the program, volunteers, and one another.
Each teen only needs to attend one of the dates. 
Sponsors are not required to come. 
Both retreats will be held in the St. Mary Parish Hall. 
More details to come.
​
If you were not able to attend the retreats, please do the following:
  • Find a parish in the area and ask if you can join their confirmation retreat and obtain a letter for proof of participation. Submit this to Melissa Lucca  (hard copy or email).
  • Attend the online Greater Retreat at your cost of $19. Print the certificate and submit to Melissa Lucca before (hard copy or email)

Be In the Loop

We want to make sure you get all the information that we send out to you with our mailing system, Flocknote. 
  • Please add mail@flocknote.com to your contact list. 
  • I will send our Flocknotes to the email address you put for Parent #1 on your registration form.
  • Check all trash, junk, and spam folders.
  • Within a week of registering, I will send a Welcome Flocknote to that Parent #1 email. 
  • This is the only way that I will communicate updates and reminders to the group beginning in October. Of course, please call or email Melissa Lucca for individual questions. 

​Monthly Sessions Held in the Parish Hall

Beginning in October, prep sessions will be held each month on a Sunday or Monday. Dates will be posted by July 5th at registration. 

Forms 

Specific forms are required for an individual to receive the sacrament of confirmation. Click HERE for detailed instructions on the following:

  1. A saint to be their prayer companion and role model in the faith.   
  2. A sponsor as an additional prayer companion and role model in the faith. 
     3. Proof of baptism is also required. 

Cost

The $100 fee for this program covers the kick-off retreat and educational resources. This can be paid through the online registration platform or with cash or check. Please first email mlucca@stmaryhuntley.org for the discount code that will waive your deposit when registering online and receive further instructions on how to pay in person.
​

If this is a hardship, please speak with us. We do offer payment plans and scholarships based on financial circumstances.   

​Charity Challenge

Charity is a fundamental Christian virtue. Our program will include opportunities to learn about and live this virtue.  Four service hours will be required of each candidate but can we reach 1,000 hours all together?! We could change the world, people! Details will be explained at the retreat.

An amendment to the Charity Hours:
2 hours must be completed at St. Mary Catholic Church 
2 hours can be completed at another local organization with the following 3 stipulations that 
  • the hours specifically and directly serve the homeless, economically disadvantaged, the elderly, underprivileged students, those with a terminal illness.
  • the organization must be written on your Charity Chart where you track your hours and turn in.
  • service for family and friends does not count toward this.
