Confirmation Preparation — Parish Family 14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Remember, then, that you received a spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear. Keep safe what you received. God the Father sealed you, Christ the Lord strengthened you and sent the Spirit into your hearts as the pledge of what is to come.” — St. Ambrose<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

About our program: Parish Family 14 will collaborate this year on our confirmation program. All youth in grades 7 and up seeking confirmation in our three parishes are welcome to attend!<\/p>\n

Classes will meet at St. John in the Egan Hall lunchroom (unless otherwise communicated).<\/p>\n

Class dates for the 2025-26 session are:<\/strong>
\nNovember 2
\nNovember 16
\nNovember 23
\nNovember 30 (Advent wreath making)
\nDecember 7
\nDecember 14
\nJanuary 4
\nJanuary 11
\nJanuary 31 – Retreat
\nFebruary 1 – Rehearsal<\/p>\n

Class time is 9:30am to 10:25 am (between the two St. John Sunday Masses). This time does conflict with the 9am Mass at St. Alphonsus. The Faith Formation team suggests that for these class dates, families explore the other Masses in our parish family: St. John 8:30 or 10:30, St. Benedict 11am, or either of the vigil Masses 5pm Saturday at St. John or St. Alphonsus.<\/p>\n

A full-day Archdiocesan retreat will take place on Saturday January 31st, more details to come.<\/p>\n

Our confirmation Mass with the Bishop or Archbishop will be Thursday, February 5, 2026, at 7pm.<\/p>\n
