Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope that you had a wonderful New Years!
I'm very much looking forward to celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with you and your child(ren) in just under two weeks. In this last weekend before coming back from break, I just wanted to send a few reminders to you.
Our final meeting for the entire cohort preparing for Confirmation will be next Sunday, January 11 at 6:00pm in the Church. This will be a rehearsal in which we will go through the Mass, the seating assignments, and the roles that both candidate and sponsor have during the Mass. The rehearsal will take about one hour. This rehearsal is for the candidate and the sponsor. If a sponsor is not able to attend, another adult (often a parent) is invited to come and stand in during the rehearsal and relay the information to the sponsor.
These were already due and there is always a chance they were turned in but I didn't mark them completed, so I would offer a wide sense of indulgence if you get an email from me asking for things to be completed. Just send me a note and let me know what is going on. I care more that our candidates have learned and understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ than anything else.
It will be an exciting couple weeks approaching up. Don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!
Blessings,
David Heimann
