The students are asked to do three service projects during the year. These service projects can be done in a variety of ways. A service project is anything that the student does that they do not get paid for and that helps out somebody. However, I do ask that you try to think outside the box a little. For example, if it is your child’s job to babysit his or her younger siblings while mom and dad go bowling every Wednesday night, perhaps don’t make that a service project. Try something new. There are a few service projects listed on the Confirmation Information sheet. Your child is not required to do these particular projects, but I do try to help them find things to do. More service projects will be announced as they are made available to me.

A sponsor is one that will aid the child and parents in the faith journey of the Confirmandi for life. To pick a sponsor, the Catholic Church asks that you first look at Godparents, if they fill the requirements below. I ask that the child and parents work together to choose the sponsor(s). I do not ask very much of the sponsors because I trust that you will choose a person who is active in the life of the student.
a. Sponsors need to be fully initiated Catholics (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation have all been received.)
b. They need to be active in their faith life (attend Mass regularly).
c. They need to be at least 16 years of age.
d. They need to be somebody that is active in the life of the Confirmandi.
e. Parents CAN NOT be sponsors, but can be proxies if the need arises.

You can have up to two sponsors if you would like
