Welcome to Confirmation Prep @ Our Lady of Loretto!
Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is OPEN!
You can find a letter from our program director and this year's registration form under "Forms and Docs" on the left side of this page.
Classes will begin the week of September 18. Please register your teens early - it really helps us to ensure we have enough volunteers and resources for the school year. Click on the "registration page" tab on the left to print out your forms.
A little bit about our Confirmation Program...At Our Lady of Loretto, preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a three-year process beginning in the seventh grade. Under usual circumstances, candidates are confirmed at the end of their ninth grade year. Throughout these three years, students focus on three main questions:- Who is Jesus?
- What has he done for me?
- What am I supposed to do about it?
The 2023-2024 Confirmation Team is looking forward to a wonderful year in which we will all grow in our faith together with our Confirmation candidates. Please keep us all in your prayers as we travel this road together.
Follow the links in the sidebar to view class calendars (to be posted later in the Summer) and other information pertaining to your particular year of study. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call or email! I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and answer any questions you may have about our program.
PARENT RETREAT!
We are excited to welcome Cana & Ennie Hickman from the Del Rey Collective back to OLL this year for our annual parent retreat! After two decades of full time ministry, Cana and Ennie Hickman have set out to empower and encourage individuals and families to live on mission in the ordinary, in their home, their neighborhood, in the everyday. Del Rey Collective is not about events that bring thousands of people together (although those aren't bad).It is about giving formation and encouragement to ordinary missionary disciples to open their homes (and porches) and host their own life giving dinners and gatherings. We believe this has the potential to change the world!
Instead of asking the parents of our Sacramental Year students (those children & teens preparing for First Communion & Confirmation, as well as those preparing for Baptism through our RCIA process) to come out for evening parent sessions, we are condensing it all into one half-day retreat. The retreat is mandatory for all parents of sacramental year students.
Join us on January 27 from 10:00am-3pm in the OLL Hall for a luncheon workshop with our guest presenters, Cana and Ennie Hickman. Light breakfast and lunch will be served. This day-long event is for ALL parents in our community, but is required for those parents who have children receiving a Sacrament in the Spring of 2024.
We look forward to having you with us!
