Dear Parents/Guardians,
It was very good to see so many of our students at the Confirmation retreat this past Saturday. We received many compliments from the Shrine staff regarding your children. They were very impressed with the way the students participated and received the retreat. The NET team who gave the retreat were also very complimentary.
Looking forward, it is time for us to start bringing together all the loose strands for your child's preparation for Confirmation. In particular, I'd like to draw focus for how we accredit the completion of the Faith in Action Projects, the Baptism witness, saints reports, etc that have been assigned to your child.
To verify completion, I don't use a sign in sheet or verification form. All of the assignments are accredited by the reflections the students complete, none of which can be done without them first having completed the experience. These have been available for the entirety of our preparation time at https://standrew.org/confirmation-2026/
When your child has completed their Faith In Action Service requirements, they complete the form and return it to me either by handing it it at school, during RE classes, or emailing me at david@standrew.org
With that form highlighted, it also serves as a reminder that this Saturday, October 11, 2025 is the second (and final) organized opportunity to complete the service component of caring for the earth. More information about the service project and how to sign up for it can be found below in this email.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. I'm catching up with email after getting behind due to the crunch time of activities at Saint Andrew the last few weeks.
Blessings,
-David Heimann
