Dear Parents,
  The following information needs to be handed into the office by the end of April. All projects (Works of Mercy & saint ) need to be turned in by September 1st.

• Application Form:  All information must be completed ad legible or the form will be sent back to you.

• The Fee Envelope:  The Confirmation fee is $75.00 .  The PREP students and the STA students need to send it into the PREP office with your application. 

• Parent Letter(s) and Sponsor Letter:  We encourage you write letters to your child which he/she will receive to read at the Candidates’ rehearsal.  

• Sponsor at Confirmation:  A certificate of eligibility is required from each sponsor.  If a sponsor is a parishioner of St. Thomas, our Rectory staff will check eligibility. If this is the case, please indicate that the sponsor is a member of St Thomas the Apostle. More information about the qualifications for a sponsor is attached.

• Works of Mercy Projects are due by September 1, 2021.  All Candidates must complete 4 works of Mercy. Please submit each of your works of mercy on the link provided.  If something is not accepted, the PREP office will contact you.  These works and the forms should be complete by the Candidate.

• Confirmation Retreat:  Attend a Confirmation Retreat (Ignite/ Bishop Shanahan)
  • STA PREP attend during their monthly class
  • STA School will attend a retreat during their religion class

• The Confirmation Study Guide:  This is the set of Confirmation questions your child will be working on in class.  The Candidates must be able to explain the answers to the 12 questions. They do not need to be memorized, just have an understanding. See Below attachment for these questions

• Saint Project due September 2021:  Each candidate will research the name they have chosen for Confirmation.  They will present in the social hall to our Parishioners after the October masses.  A sign up will be sent out in the fall. A rubric will be given to guide the Candidates in completing this project.
