First Communion Mini-Retreat
Monday, January 26th
6:30-8:00pm
School Dining Room
Second graders and their parents are invited to attend a mini-retreat to kick off this exciting journey to First Communion in April! We will have a fun parent-child activity, treats, and will share important information about the upcoming sacramental celebration for First Communion families.
Note-this replaces the already scheduled parent meeting for the same date!
Sponsor Encounter
As we venture into the new year, we continue to prepare our 8th grader's to receive Confirmation the last week of April! Our candidates have each selected a Confirmation Sponsor as well as a Confirmation Saint to pray for and support them not just on the big day, but also on their continued faith journey through high school and beyond!
Confirmation Sponsors are asked to join Candidates for a short, mini-retreat filled with snacks, fun activities, as well as a little one-on-one time for our final stretch of preparation.
Due to a scheduling conflict, we needed to change the dates. Please see below for the updated dates.
Note Change in Date
Friday, January 30 from 6:00-8:00pm
-OR-
Saturday, January 31 from 9:30-11:30am
- If a sponsor is unable to attend, the student may invite another adult to accompany them.
- Please note that this encounter does NOT replace the mandatory Confirmation Retreat which will be held later in the spring.
- This opportunity will be offered twice; choose which time best fits your schedule!
Both events will begin in St. Stephen the Martyr Worship Space
