Confirmation 2020 (Year 2) Formation Sessions

by

There will be six sessions each year for candidates and their parents and if possible their  sponsors. We will gather for 90 minutes at 3:45 pm on Sundays or at 7 pm on Tuesdays. Parents and/or Sponsors will meet in the St. Joseph Center while the candidates gather in the Eden Center (Unless told otherwise).  Each group will have a  catechetical session followed by a prayer service allowing candidates and their parents–and if possible their sponsors–to pray and reflect together.
