The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

CONFIRMATION INFORMATION**

**"The RETREAT is planned for March 14, Saturday, at the Scottsville Camp &
Conference Center in Scottsville, TX. The kids will arrive Saturday morning
and stay until Sunday noonish.

BE WORKING ON YOUR SERVICE HOURS (20 hours recommended) &
Decide who will be YOUR SPONSOR -
(your godparent or any practicing Catholic, older
than 16 (and not your parent)
Someone who is willing to mentor you in your faith
throughour life.
Consider which Saint you will take as a role model. You may need to write a
one page essay on the saint you choose to be your Saint name and tell about
that Saint's life and why you want to model yours after him/her.

OTHER INFO. ABOUT CONFIRMATION...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW UNTIL THEN...

20 Service hours are needed by Confirmation in APRIL.

Remember, if your child worked at VBS this past summer, he may claim up to 5
of those hours toward Confirmation.

ALTAR SERVING AND LECTORING MAY count
for 1 service hour each, if candidate has actually served this school year
as either an altar server or a reader. However, it can only be counted as 1
hour even if they've served many masses and the same with reading, just 1
hour can be claimed even though they may have read at many masses.

One of the ideas behind required service work during Confirmation
preparation is to get the candidates thinking and doing for others. So the
above are just a few ideas.

SERVICE HOUR OPPORTUNITY!!

6th Grade:

The Joyful Mysteries

1. The Annunciation

The Angel Gabriel appears to Mary to ask if she'll be the Mother of
God. Mary humbly agrees saying, "I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be
done to me according to Thy will."

2. The Visitation

Mary, pregnant with Jesus, visits Elizabeth, pregnant with John the
Baptist. Elizabeth acknowledges that Mary is the Mother of God.

3. The Nativity

Jesus is born and the angels tell the shepherds who find Jesus in
manger. Magi visit manger recognizing baby Jesus as a King.

4. The Presentation

Joseph and Mary bring baby Jesus to be circumcised and meet Simeon,
the elderly man. He blesses God and says that he can now die,
that he has seen the Messiah!

5. Finding Jesus in the Temple

After celebrating the Passover feast in Jerusalem, Jesus, 12,
stays behind in the Temple. Three days later, Mary and Joseph find
him and he says, "Did you not know I must be in my Father's house?"
Then, he goes back with them to Nazareth, was obedient, and grows in wisdom
and stature.

Hail, Holy Queen - (p. 385 in 6th text)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy;
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!

To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus;

O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Leader: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

All: That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.

St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Prayer

Teach me, Lord
To serve You as You deserve.
To give and not to count the cost.
To fight and not to heed the wounds.
To toil and not seek for rest.
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing that I do Your will,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen

PLEASE TURN IN ALL CONFIRMATION FORMS: Sponsor name, confirmation name and
essay on Saint whose name you are choosing, Baptismal Certificate if not

SERVICE HOURS OPPORTUNITY:

SERVICE IDEAS:
They can do things on their own like going to serve meals to the Homeless at
Hospitality House or the Salvation Army, helping the elderly with yardwork,
visiting nursing homes, etc. The child and parent can tailor their service
hours to fit their schedule. (From Church office)

Notes about Confirmation to appear here as received from Church Office.*

CONFIRMATION WILL BE AT 2 PM ON APRIL 20TH IN THE ST. JOSEPH ACTIVITY CENTER
(CHURCH/GYM).

10 Service hours should be acquired this 1st half of the year and 10
starting in January and finishing up by May.

* If your child put in MORE THAN his REQUIRED 3 hours for the Carnival,
they may claim those EXTRA hours as service up to a maximum of 5. See me if
you feel your child worked much more than 5 (that would mean actually having
worked more than 8 hours because the first 3 were required and do not count
toward Confirmation Service hours) and would like to have those hours also
considered.
Remember, if your child worked at VBS this past summer, he may claim up to 4
hours toward Confirmation.

* * Another change * * AT THIS TIME, ALTAR SERVING AND LECTORING MAY count
for 1 service hour if candidate has actually served this school year as
either an altar server or a reader. However, it can only be counted as 1
hour even if they've served many masses and the same with reading, just 1
hour can be claimed even though they may have read at many masses.

One of the ideas behind required service work during Confirmation
preparation is to get the candidates thinking and doing for others. So the
above are just a few ideas.
