Welcome, 410 in the Den! I am so excited that you have chosen to begin this exciting new step in your faith journey. The sacrament of confirmation is such a huge opportunity for spiritual growth and it’s a great source of grace for the rest of your faith life. Eric, Maria, and I are so excited, honored, and grateful that we get to walk with you on this journey. Our hope for you this year is that you approach each class with an open mind and an open heart, ready to listen and ready to ask questions. Your instinct might be to always give us the “church-y” answer, and feed us the answers that you think we want to hear. I promise you that we would rather you express your true thoughts and feelings! It’s the best way to really learn and have a genuine experience. We also pray that you will use our class to build new friendships and strengthen existing ones. I have a feeling that this will be a year full of fun and laughter, based on the energy of our class this week! One of my favorite parts of belonging to our church is the incredible sense of fellowship within our parish. There are so many great people to surround ourselves with who will help to encourage us to follow the right path – the path of faithfulness! We definitely don’t have all of the answers, but we promise to do our best to give you opportunities to learn and grow in your relationship to God this year. I can’t wait to see what this year brings!
