- Although you are not required to fulfill specific service hours, you are encouraged to serve in some way throughout your preparation.
- As an option for your service project, you may attend a Synod Listening Session with fellow confirmands on Easter Monday, April 18 1:30-3:30. If you attended the session, you may record 2 hours on your Service Project Log and bring it to the next lesson to be signed. If you complete the online survey, you may also record that and have an adult supervisor to sign. Remember to do the reflections afterwards!
- As one of the prayer part of the service project, it is strongly recommended that you participate in the Divine Mercy Sunday Holy Hour held on April 24 3-4 PM. Bring your rosary for the Divine Mercy chaplet! If you bring your Service Project Log (in the “Service Project” green link above), you can get it signed afterwards by one of the Confirmation Team.
- There are two more opportunities for the prayer part of the service project.
-
- Mary, Help of Christians Novena – Prayer cards will be distributed on May 8th lesson for confirmands and their families to pray the novena for youth, especially youth receiving their Confirmation this year.
- Marian Mass on Tuesday, May 31 at 5PM starting with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and rosary and Mass at 6PM.
- At the Marian Mass, the confirmands will be offering a blanket of rose messages for Mary. It will be displayed on the steps in front of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the sanctuary. Click here for the template of the rose and here for my sample. You are encouraged to decorate it and include words of thanks and prayers. You can include how you will strive to follow the example of Mary as a disciple of Christ. I would also like six representatives to process up with the blanket. Please let me know if you are interested.
