Adult Confirmation

• Confirmation classes will begin in the Winter Quarter.
• There will be about 10 classes or so depending on the quarter schedule.
• The date for Confirmation will be either April 19, May 3, or May 31 based on the Bishop’s availability. We will have the official date by the end of the quarter.
• Cost is $30 just to cover the materials but if that is an issue let me know and just pay what you can, or I can just waive it.

• A sponsor (someone who is a Confirmed, practicing Catholic over the age of 16) who can be with you on your Confirmation day and who you feel comfortable talking about your faith with.
• To complete a service activity – this is a volunteer work of your choosing to demonstrate your understanding that living a Christian life is tied with the service of your neighbor. I do not need a report or a certain time commitment, just let me know what you intend to do or are doing. You can also join one of the UCC ministries or service projects to complete this requirement.
• Regular Sunday Mass attendance is encouraged if you are not already doing so, you are already demonstrating a desire to grow and mature in your faith and this is a great way to nourish that relationship with God.
• Depending on the Bishop who comes to officiate the Confirmation ceremony, they may be another requirement such as a letter to the Bishop on what your faith means to you but that will known later.

 
I have come up with a doodle poll so that I can know everyone’s availability and schedule the class accordingly. Wednesday evenings have typically worked well but I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to complete their sacraments so if none of these times work with you let me know.  Please have it done by December 1^st so I can let everyone know when the classes are. If you are no longer interested let me know and I will remove you from my Confirmation list.

Optional: 
If you know that none of these times will work for you there is an option to take an Adult Confirmation class at St. Marks in Venice on 4-5 Saturdays, (TBD) but it is more expensive ($75) and they prefer the students to be 21 and over. You will still be confirmed with the UCC class, they just teach the course.
 
If you have any further questions or special circumstances please let me know. I will get back to you once I have the poll results.
