Preparation for Confirmation 2023
Greetings Parents and Guardians, We are so happy that you have decided to register your child to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.
Our program will begin in October 2023. The meetings will be held in person. The first meeting will be with parents, sponsors, and candidates. The following 3 meetings will be for the candidates only.
REGISTRATION:
You can register for the sacrament online and send in all documentation. Baptism is a pre-requisite to all the other sacraments.
If your child is not baptised, please contact us immediately to pursue the possibility of having your child enter the Christian Community through the Sacrament of Baptism.
If you are not already a registered member of St. Veronica’s parish, and wish to become a member, please see Father Peter after any weekend Mass. The following are needed when you register:
A copy of your child’s Baptism Certificate.
We also ask that you help subsidize the cost of the program. The fee is$25.00and can be sent by following the donation page on the HOME tab on the main page of our website. An income tax receipt will be issued for these monies.
The registration form, attachments and fees are to be sent by: September 25,2023(deadlines are firm).
Attendance at Mass is an integral part of the preparation process. Your child will better understand the information given in the videos and be able to apply the concepts in their own way. We do encourage you to attend Mass in person. Our Saturday Mass is live-streamed on our website: veronica.church and is also shown on Shaw Cable every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM.
A qualified sponsor:must be chosen who meets these requirements:
Must be at least 16 years old and has already been baptized, received First Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
Must be a regular attendee of the Parish to which they belong
Must sign the part of the registration form that applies to them
Must not be a parent.
Please review the dates of the meetings and times. Each meeting is especially important in the preparation of your child, for this reason, attendance at ALL meetings is required.
