A Note from the Coordinator...
To the Class of 2020, next year's juniors:
If your family is registered at St. Bernard Parish, you will be receiving a registration packet for the 2019 Confirmation process in the mail. Our process has changed a bit from prior years, but if you are a public school student, we ask that you attend ONE Service retreat in the Fall in either September, October, or November and then, attend Wednesday night R.E. classes starting in January. These classes will assist you in your general faith formation experience and are required by the Diocese in order to receive Confirmation. We also ask that parents sign-up for an ALPHA course to journey alongside you in this process
If you are an NDA student, you do not have to attend Wednesday night R.E. classes because you receive theology classes through school.
However, in April 2019, both public school and NDA students will come together for a 6-week immediate Confirmation preparation process. This process will prepare you to understand Confirmation and bring it to life in your own faith journey. Over the summer of next year, students will meet with their sponsors and make the faith "their own." Late September or early October 2019 of your senior year is when Bishop Ricken will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation with Mass. The actual date is to be determined by the Diocese, but we are hoping to receive the date in Spring 2019.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks so much!
