I will be respectful of the property and will pick up after myself. I will follow directions and willingly participate in discussions and activities. I will act in a Christian manner at all times and will respect the opinions of others, even if I disagree with them.

  Confirmation Handbook Acknowledgment
  
  I acknowledge that I have read through, understand, and commit myself to the program requirements and expectations as set forth in the 2017-2018 Confirmation Parent-Student Handbook, which can be found on the Teen Confirmation page of this website. The main points include, but are not limited to, the following:
  
  Preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a spiritual as well as intellectual process, and I acknowledge the need to keep my heart and mind open to the Holy Spirit during my sacramental preparation.
  
  I commit to attending the scheduled meetings and Youth Masses, and will make up any absences.
  
  Celebrating Mass each Sunday is an obligation, not an option, and I will joyfully fulfill it with my family. I also commit to liturgical ministry at a minimum of one Youth Mass this year.
  
  Email is the primary means of communication, and I will check it regularly and read it carefully, as they may include important and time-sensitive information.
  
  I will attend at least one overnight retreat and participate in at least one service outreach engagement, and as a second-year candidate will attend the Twilight Retreat with my sponsor the night before Confirmation Mass.
  
  Acknowledgment: I understand that if I fail to complete the program requirements for any program year, my celebration of the Sacrament may be delayed.
