Is there an attendance policy? For a candidate to qualify for the Confirmation Rite, every teen must attend at least 80% of all Life Nights for the 2019-2020 Faith Formation/Religious Education year. Failure to do so could result in a redo of the Sacramental Preparation of Confirmation year.
What happens if my teen misses a Confirmation Life Night? Make up work for every Confirmation Life Night will be posted on the Confirmation section of the St. Laurence website the week immediately following and will be due by the following Confirmation Life Night (April 26 make up work will be a due by the May 3 Life Night). But, if a teen misses more than two Confirmation Life Nights, we will need to asses if the teen will be able to continue preparing for Confirmation.
We can't make the St. Laurence Confirmation Retreat, what do I do? The December Confirmation retreat is only retreat option we provide. It is possible to attend a different parish’s Confirmation retreat, but the burden of finding a parish with a Confirmation retreat that fits your family’s schedule falls on you.
Is there an ‘at-home’ option to prepare my teen for Confirmation? No, there isn’t. The archdiocese asks us to not provide that option because of the communal aspects of preparing for Confirmation.
The sponsor my Candadite would like to choose can't make it to anything, what do I do? Throughout this whole year of preparation, if your Candidate's sponsor can't make an event (Sponsor/Candidate Session, Confirmation Rite, etc.) you or a family member will stand in as proxy.
