There are two options
for attending a mandatory Confirmation retreat.
The first is an overnight retreat August 7 & 8 at
Bethany House in Dewitt. (Permission
slip) The second option is a
day retreat on Monday, January 19, 2009 at Bethany
House. Parents and sponsors are invited to attend
either retreat with their candidate.

in 2009 is Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m.
Adult Confirmation
For a number of reasons, many
adults have not completed the initiation process, though
they may be active within the parish community. Adult
Catholics who have not celebrated the sacrament of
Confirmation are encouraged to participate in a
three-week preparation process designed to prepare them
for this final sacrament of initiation.
To register or find out more about
the Adult Confirmation process, please call Debbie Thiede, Adult Formation Director, at 810-659-2501.
