Those having regularly participated in the class will receive the Sacraments at the Easter Vigil Mass. For Adult Confirmation, those who have completed the coursework and supplementary in-person sessions before Pentecost will receive Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday.
Each person entering the program will meet individually with the Coordinator to complete the necessary paperwork, answer any questions, and discuss any concerns. Once in the program, there is no obligation to continue if you are not ready to proceed.
In preparation for the Easter Vigil, individuals will need to attend some preparatory rites on special Sundays. Attending Sunday Mass each week is part of the requirements of preparation. In-person sessions will include a detailed discussion of the Mass and a tour of the Church. Theological and Pastoral concerns will be discussed. We will also explore the Scriptures/Bible.
