I hope this message finds you well. Attached to this email you will find the Confirmation Preparation Guide, which brings together everything you and your family will need as we move forward in the coming months. It is a comprehensive resource, and I encourage you to take some time to read through it carefully.
The guide outlines how our Confirmation programming will proceed and includes important information on the Confirmation Mass, sponsor expectations, the service (Work of Mercy) component, and the process for choosing a patron saint. My hope is that this guide serves as a steady reference point as your family walks through this stage of preparation.
I also want to highlight a few key upcoming dates for your calendar:
• January 21, 2026 – 8th Grade Life Night at St. Luke, 6:30–7:45pm
• January 24, 2026 – Boys’ Retreat with St. Raphael (for 8th grade students unable to attend the Damascus retreat)*
• January 25, 2026 – Girls’ Retreat with St. Raphael (for 8th grade students unable to attend the Damascus retreat)*
• March 5, 2026 – 7th Grade Life Night at St. Luke, 6:30–7:45pm
• March 14, 2026 – 8th Grade Confirmation Mass at St. James*
(*Additional details for these items can be found the Confirmation guide.)
Thank you for the care and attention you continue to give to your child’s faith formation. Please know of my gratitude for your partnership in this process. If questions arise as you review the guide, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m always happy to help clarify or talk things through.
Sincerely in Christ,
