Dear Confirmation Candidates, Sponsors and Parents.
Once again this year the Archbishop has given pastors the option to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation for their own candidates at their home parish.
Our Confirmation Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, May 2nd 2021 here at SJTW.
To maintain COVID safety protocols, we will host multiple Masses. Seating will be limited and assigned for each Mass. Candidates will be notified directly with details about Mass times, seating registration, check-in/safety information, liturgical ministry opportunities, etc.
Milestones
During the preparation process, candidates will participate in a variety of experiences and activities to help them participate in Jesus' vision of God's present kingdom by sharing their unique giftedness with the world around them and reflecting on God's presence in their lives.
Here are just a few of the "milestones" that mark the Candidate's way...
