Service / Spirituality Requirement:

Service hours are not required for reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation. Sacraments are gifts freely given by God. Service hours will be required as part of the Religion curriculum. Specific guidelines and Service Cards (for recording hours) will be given out in the Fall of 2020. You/your child may keep record of service you child completes over the summer. We want each child to serve in their families, in their parish, and in the community. We also ask children to record spiritual activities in which they participate outside of regular Sunday Mass.  i.e. participation in a pro-life event (Crossing the Bridge for Life), praying the Rosary with a group, watching and discussing a movie about a Saint’s life, attendance at a Catholic speaker, etc.
