Confirmation 2017 A letter was sent to your home inviting you to join us this year for the preparation of Confirmation. If you did
not receive a letter and you feel you are eligible, please contact our office or email us as soon as possible. We look
forward to seeing you at the meeting!
The Confirmation Information Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 8th in the Parish Hall from 1:15-3pm.
If you are a highs school student and feel that you are ready to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 2017,
this meeting is for you! Requirements for eligibility are: you are currently in a religious education program or
Catholic School, have received the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist, attend and practice your faith
regularly, and have a desire to complete the final Sacrament of Initiation – Confirmation. This program is not
limited to or considered a graduation from your faith formation – it is just the beginning! Our hope and
expectation is that you are ready to participate fully in the program by engaging in all of the program
requirements. It is designed to investigate, serve, and develop a deeper relationship with Christ. Some may not
be ready for this – and that is OK! Come to our information meeting and see if this year is your year to start
your Confirmation journey.
HIGHSCHOOL, SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP: Please see website for details and additional
information! Check out our website for the latest and greatest service opportunities. If you are in 9th
grade, you are welcome to start your Confirmation Service Hours requirements. After all, you have
about 1.5 million to go before your life is over. Why wait to start? Lol.

“And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her
heart.” Sometimes we need to reflect on how to let God
live with us in our marriages. Explore how by attending a WorldWide Marriage Encounter weekend on March 24-26, 2017 in Rehoboth Beach, DE. For more in-formation, visit our website at www.wwme-delmar.org or to register for the weekend, please call Tony & Linda Massino @ 302-220-9833.
(New Years) Traditionally people make
resolutions to improve themselves at the
beginning of the year. In marriage, since you
are united in love, what improves one spouse
also improves the other. What marriage
building practice do you want to start or
continue during 2017?
