Confirmation

Fun for all ages! (Children must be accompanied by an adult.)  We will have prizes for all different age groups, including adults!  Snacks will be provided, however, voluntary donations are encouraged and all proceeds will be donated to Boston Children’s Hospital. 

This event is being hosted by our Collaborative Religious Education students who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this spring. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is “sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit” and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ. Participating in Christian service during their preparation helps to foster an understanding of the centrality of service in the Christian life…

In response, we have several exciting updates to our program this year which impact Grades 6-10 and our sacrament preparation program, so please pay careful attention to the information below.

With these changes, it is more important than ever that families register their children for Religious Education as soon as possible.  Registration extends through June 10. All registrations received after June 10 will incur a $25 late fee per child…
