As a reminder, your child was automatically registered for this retreat when you registered them for Confirmation preparation, since the retreat is a requirement of all candidates. You acknowledged this when you completed their registration form and the payment you made then covers the cost of their retreat attendance. That means we are currently expecting that your child will be at the retreat next weekend UNLESS you have notified me that they are unable to make it. If you know your child will not be attending, but you haven't already emailed me to let me know, please do so Monday 11/4 at the latest. Candidates who cannot attend this retreat will need to complete the requirement by attending another retreat in the future (more info). Full details about the retreat such as drop-off and pick-up times, locations, packing list, etc. are found in the Confirmation Retreat Information Packet.

Discipleship Reflection #1 is an online survey consisting of multiple choice and short answer questions. It’s meant to give us a snapshot of each candidate’s beliefs, faith life, etc. at the start of their preparation. It shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes for them to complete and instructions are included in a 3-minute introductory video at the top of the form. If your child has not completed this yet, please have them do so as soon as possible: Discipleship Reflection #1.

Don't forget to check the 2026 Confirmation Dashboard frequently throughout your child's preparation. This dashboard has any reminders, announcements, and links to all forms and resources you’ll need to help your child complete their preparation requirements!
