Confirmation Sacramental Preparation 2024

Please come to the office before September 15th to register if you cannot register on September 15th. We will not accept late registrations this year. Based on the number of registered teens, we will order supplies on Monday, September 16th. Sacramental Preparation Sessions will begin on September 25th through March 12th. At least one parent must attend all sessions with their teen. Our Confirmation Retreat will be at the Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center on Feb 28th - March 2nd.
The Middle School (EDGE NIGHTS) and High School (LIFE NIGHTS) Youth Groups will start later this Fall. We are aligning our Youth Group calendar with the Church's liturgical calendar.

OUR ANNUAL THEME FOR THE LITURGICAL YEAR 2024- 25 Sanctuary, our annual theme for 2024-25, symbolizes the refuge that teens find in Christ. It transcends from the sacred altars of our Parish into the secular aspects of their daily lives, bringing peace amidst chaos, order amidst disorder, and love amid fear. Sanctuary is a beacon of Divine Shelter, offering us refuge in times of trial. It celebrates the sanctity of our Inner Sanctuary, turning the ordinary into Sacred Space and inspiring hope and transformation.

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
Divine Mercy Sunday Prayer Service: April 27th at 3:00 pm
Jesus told Saint Faustina that many graces would be given to those who observe Divine Mercy Sunday.
[Jesus said,] I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: “Jesus, I trust in You”
(Diary, 327).
To learn more about these graces and the requirements to receive these graces, please visit:
