We have a Confirmation retreat because it is crucial to preparing for Confirmation by taking a step back to understand/recognize why get Confirmed. The purpose is to help each student be reignited for their faith and to be ready to receive the Holy Spirit and to utilize the gifts and graces given in the Sacrament of Confirmation. We know that Confirmation is not the end or "graduation" of our faith but it's a new start; being equipped with the Holy Spirit and to be sent forth.
Our goal is to prepare our students to live out their faith as the apostles did, "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42
We will be able to do this by having a NET Missionaries team come in to lead our retreat. There will be Adoration and Confession available.
We are excited to be able to host our Confirmation retreat on Saturday March 15 from 9:30am-2:30pm at Sacred Heat Parish Hall. A light breakfast and lunch will be included in this retreat as well. We will be having a NET Team come in to host our retreat. If you are unfamilar with NET, I encourage you to check out there website here: NET Ministries.
The cost for this retreat will be $35/person. If you would like to pay for this via check, please write your check to 'Faith Formation' with 'NET Retreat' or 'Confirmation Retreat' in the memo line. Your child can give this check to their teacher and I will get the check that way.
