CONFIRMATION HELP LETTERS!!!!

Just a reminder that we need HELP LETTERS! On the retreat our Confirmandi will have the opportunity to read letters from family and friends. These letters are the highlight of the retreat and the Confirmandi really enjoy reading these letters.

Typically they are letters of encouragement, saying how proud we are of them in their faith journey. many have reflections on their own journey and some are just a note of congratulations. Some even reflect on their own Confirmation day and how important their faith is to them in their daity life. We ask that the Spirit be with the Confirmandi on this special day as the receive the last sacrament of initiation.

The retreat is on February 9th, so with PSR only meeting on Sunday's we only have two more weeks to get these in. If you have people out of town, in the past I have accepted emails and I will print them off and make sure they are in their envelope for the retreat (stjoepsr@hotmail.com). We would hope to get these letters in by FEBRUARY 4th which is the deadline for PSR.

  • If you drop them off at the Rectory during the week please mark the child's first and last name and attention PSR. They can be delivered anytime at the RECTORY, there is a slot on the side of the door which has a basket for mail. The last time I will check the RECTORY mail will be on WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 8th, which is the same night as the REHEARSAL.
If you have any questions let me know. Thank you for all that you do to prepare your children in the FAITH!
