3) Also, don't forget to bring your parent letter to your candidate, sealed in an envelope with his/her name on it.
A segment of the retreat will focus on parent/teen communication and the importance of family in our lives. As part of this experience, we ask each parent or guardian to write a letter to your child to be opened privately during this segment. The letter should serve as an affirmation for your child and include how proud you are of their decision to be confirmed and their accomplishments. Use it as an opportunity to tell them something you don’t usually get a chance to say. THIS LETTER IS A SURPRISE FOR YOUR CHILD. We ask that you do not tell your child about this prior to the retreat. The letters will not be given out unless we receive one for each participant, so please take the time to provide one so that all may benefit from this experience. The letters will collected during the check in at drop off.
4) Parents are asked to stay for the first 15 minutes to go over some important information.

The retreat will be held at St. Michael's School beginning at 9am. Pick up will be at 5PM at the church following Mass which begins at 4PM. Families are invited to attend the Mass with the Confirmands.
