Confirmation

Confirmation Candidate Registration form are available on the right.  The form, copy of baptismal certificate and registration fee were due at the September 13^th parent meeting.  Children baptized at Saint James, please note month and year, we do not need a copy of the baptismal certificate.  If you submitted the sacramental registration fee already, thank you.  Students in the Religious Education program must be re-registered by September 1^st.

Service to God’s people is an important part of the Confirmation process; we ask that a minimum of 20 hours be completed prior to receiving Confirmation in the fall of 2012.  Service is defined broadly as volunteer time that helps the community and its members, it can be coordinating a car wash donating the money to a charity, helping at a local food bank, teaching a younger child math, walking an elderly neighbor’s dog, encourage your child to look into helping where they have an interest.  They should not be paid for this volunteer time. Some students are already working on those hours; the forms to log this time as well as suggestions to get you started are available on the parish web site under the Confirmation tab.
