Youth Mass
Each student in the Confirmation Program must participate and serve during a Youth Mass. Each Youth Mass occurs on the third Sunday of the month at the 11am mass.
During the month of March, since there is no scheduled youth mass, the Confirmation Program will be sponsoring a Stations of the Cross night. Confirmation students may volunteer to lead prayer/reflection during that night. This will count as participation in Youth Mass.
Also, since the March 26thYouth Night will be cancelled, Confirmation Students are REQUIRED to attend ONE Stations of the Cross Night. You may pick any Friday (2/16, 2/23, 3/2, 3/9, 3/16, 3/23) during Lent to attend. Sign in sheets will be in the Vestibule.
Confirmation Retreat
Confirmation Retreat is on Saturday, March 24that our mission church, St. Vincent de Paul in Rancho Murrieta. Registration/sign in will begin at 8am and we will promptly begin at 8:30am. A letter will be sent home with all the details of this retreat. We will conclude the retreat with Mass at 5pm. Sign-ups for exit interviews will also happen at the end of the retreat.If your youth cannot attend this retreat: it is the responsibility of the parents/families to find a different retreat to attend because this is a Confirmation Requirement.
