Dear Parents of the Confirmation Candidates, of St. Lawrence’s School,

As you know, prior to the school closures and shutdowns that occurred this spring we were planning for Confirmation which wasn’t able to proceed.  Additionally, a number of children in 2020 were unable to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.

It is our wish that every student who wishes to receive this sacrament should have the opportunity and so we are proceeding with 2 dates in November for the celebration of the sacrament. 

• Friday, November 12 at 6:00 p.m.
• Saturday, November 13 at 12:00 noon

These will be preceded by an opportunity for confessions during the previous week during the school day.

NB these dates are ONLY for students who should have received the sacraments in 2020 or the spring of 2021. 

Families must pre-register with the Parish to attend these celebrations, and the Parish office will then work with families to make sure all the appropriate documentation (baptism certificates, sponsor and parental information) is obtained before the sacramental celebration.

To register, please visit the registration form by following this link: First Communion / Confirmation Registration, complete the form and the Parish office will follow up with you to confirm dates and times and to complete the registration.

On each date, we will be able to accommodate 16 families and each family will have 1 pew reserved for them so they can invite family members or friends to attend.  Each pew can accommodate up to 8 people, but we still ask that families allow for distancing if guests don’t live in the same household.

Some sacramental preparation suggestions will be provided to families in advance of the celebration of the sacraments, however we remind you that the best way to teach your children is by participating in Mass on Sundays together with them and by example at home.

Yours sincerely in Christ,

Father Peter Jurzyk

Pastor of St. Lawrence Parish
