Announcements

Welcome to 7th grade!
The most important work you will do this year is prepare for your 
CONFIRMATION.  This should be a time of growth and maturing.  It was 
suggested that over the summer vacation you begin to
                            1)select a sponsor
                            2)choose your patron saint
                            3)begin Christian service activities
If you haven't done these things there is still time...focus and get to work!

I have been given a red folder just as you received at the spring 
confirmation meeting.  Here is a reminder of the due dates.  Anything 
completed early may be handed in to me or Mrs. Deck upon completion!!


NOVEMBER 16th--BOTH the blue and the gold sponsor sheets from the red folder 
are due at school.  Your sponsor(if from out of the St. Ignatius Parish) is 
asked to begin work on attaining their letter of eligibility from their 
parish.  They may have it sent to you or directly to Mrs. Lisa Deck at the 
Religious Ed office here at school.  This may take time so plan 
accordingly...not every parish secretary is as efficient as Mrs. Skolney!

the sacraments and prayers is to be signed by a parent or your sponsor.  
This is due on MONDAY

JANUARY 31--The enrollment ceremony is part of the noon mass.  Please make

will be given time to complete this in class, but any incomplete journals

FEBRUARY 22--Christian service hours are due along with the cover sheet and 
FOUR yellow service sheets.  Please be sure to have completed some time in 
each of the four areas of service.  The requirement is 16 hours that may

different areas.  PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE HOURS FOR 
BOTH CONFIRMATION AND FOR JUNIOR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.  The requirements 
for the Junior National Honor Society will be outlined in that paperwork 
when it is distributed.  

MARCH 15th--the green paper indicating your knowledge and understanding of 
the Catholic Principles chould be initialed by a parent or your sponsor.

**Please be sure that you complete the requirements on time.  If you haven't

Mrs. Viverios, Deacon Bill, Mrs. Deck, or Mrs.Regoski in the religous ed 
office.  WE WILL HELP YOU FIND PROJECTS TO COMPLETE THIS REQUIREMENT if you 
need help!  Don't wait until the last week.  You will have projects and your 
regular school work and athletic commitments.  Plan ahead!
