Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope that your summer is going well!
In just a few weeks, we'll return to our meetings, service projects, and retreats that will prepare your child(ren) for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
It is in this period where things are a little more relaxed that it is good to remind parents/participants of the requirement to witness a baptism. This was discussed at our first meeting last Fall and several candidates for Confirmation have already completed the requirement. For those who haven't we have just uploaded a new schedule of potential baptisms to witness here at Saint Andrew. Click the button below to sign up for an upcoming baptism.
I also want to use this time to send you another reminder that Bishop Siemianowski will be coming to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with our candidates on Tuesday, January 12, 2027 at 6:30pm. Please mark your calendars and share this information with your child's Confirmation Sponsors.
And I have put a list of our upcoming sessions, service projects, and the final retreat below.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much and have a great rest of the summer!
God bless,
