Confirmation Registration | Saint James Parish

Confirmation 2020/20201

Our Confirmation program this year will look very different than we initially planned due to the current situation in our world. We are only allowed to meet in person with students/parents once a month. We have decided to split each month up into 4 components. You can see the breakdown of each component below. Our registration discount is still available on the registration form. This program will be adaptable for resuming in person someday and is for 6th-8th graders over the course of 3 years.
Week 1-Chosen (Virtual/At home)
Chosen is a Confirmation program by Ascension Press. It essentially uses the same 24 sessions we would be using with “Purpose” but does so in an engaging video format with a workbook that can be done at home and/or online. The talks are given by the world’s best Catholic speakers and they are very well done. You can click here for a free preview. We will send out the session in an email to the parent and the student and you will have a week to complete the session. Parents are encouraged to do the sessions with their son/daughter as it is a great way to grow as a family. However, it is built in such a way that a middle school student could complete the session on their own. It should not take longer than 40-60 minutes. We will be using Google classroom as well and will walk everyone through how to use it when it is finalized. We chose this program because we can easily continue our initial Confirmation plan if we are allowed to be in person at any point throughout the year.
Week 2- Encounter (In Person)
We are very excited to invite our families to our monthly “Encounter” events which will focus on growing in love with Jesus, hearing an inspiring faith-filled talk, and experiencing different forms of prayer. These events are for the students and their parents but it is OK for the student to attend on their own if a parent is unavailable. We will also be live streaming these for those who are not yet comfortable being back in the church. We will be using the church for these events because we believe that it is the safest way for families to attend while social distanced. We will be social distanced and masks will be required until further notice. Our first “Encounter” will be on September 29th at 6:00pm and after that they will be on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. “Encounter” will be a beautiful way for us to grow and pray together.
Week 3-EDGE (Virtual/At home)
Many of you are familiar with our EDGE program. We have already seen a ton of fruit from it this past year. The purpose of EDGE is to evangelize and catechize in an engaging way. These nights will be led by Christina Hudson and Jon Blevins and will either be done via Zoom, or we will send the lesson plan to the families with a video talk given by someone on our team depending on the month. We will be able to cover things like Scripture, Discipleship, Sacraments, and what it means to be Catholic today.
Week 4-Social/Service (Virtual)
Each month we will either have something fun for the students to do via Zoom or we will have an at-home-virtual service project. Zoom nights could include a trivia night, a rock paper scissors tournament, or a scavenger hunt for social nights, but other months may have virtual service opportunities that could include a virtual “Project Linus”, writing letters to the elderly, or encouraging the students to do something helpful in their neighborhood (ie: raking a neighbor’s leaves). These will be laid out in the official calendar which will be available in the coming weeks.
Obviously, there have been a lot of changes over the years with Confirmation and this change is unprecedented. We do believe that these are the best ways to reach our young people today. We will have a full calendar and curriculum available to view shortly and will make you aware of it as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.
