Welcome to the Natick Catholic Community Confirmation Program! 

Our classes this year will meet weekly on Sunday evenings and will be designed as “mini-retreats,” complete with large group and small group formats, games, discussions, reflections, and prayer.  As Mass is the greatest prayer of our Church, we are making the 5:30 Mass at St. Patrick’s a part of our class time together. In terms of a textbook, we will be utilizing Matthew Kelly’s Decision Point program.  It is excellent!   You can review all of his materials, including our textbook, here: www.dynamiccatholic.com/confirmation/

This year, we are submitting all of the Confirmation documents online through Google Docs.  Below you will find all of the links for the important documents you will need this year. 

Candidate and Sponsor Information Form

This is where you will sign up for the Confirmation Mass of your choice, choose your Sponsor, choose your Confirmation name, submit your height for your Confirmation robe, and if you want to volunteer to participate in your Confirmation Mass. https://forms.gle/PSoT8Sbx7FxGHUb2A

Confirmation Community Service Form

Service is definitely a requirement of the Confirmation program.  Yet, perhaps different this year, is the fact that there will be no set amount of hours to complete.  Rather, students will be asked to either create or participate in a service project of their own choosing.  Service is a lifelong task for Christians, and the hope is that by finding something of interest to your child, he or she may develop a passion to explore various service options throughout their lives. https://forms.gle/2BcjDisXs4eSyUDaA

Letter to Bishop Reed

We ask each Confirmation candidate to write a letter to the celebrant of their Confirmation Mass, Bishop Robert Reed.  These letters are delivered to Bishop Reed and he reads each of them so that he can get to know a little more about each of the candidates. https://forms.gle/7tC7xuMqJ6tKZ7e7A

Submit Make Up Work

We are only together for 10 classes so please make every effort to be in class each week.  If you do need to miss one class, there is a make up assignment to be completed. Please read the chapter and watch the accompanying videos and complete a one page reflection.  All of the material is available on their website: www.dynamiccatholic.com/confirmation/. https://forms.gle/W8sM65gprD3u5UqT6
