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

Religious Ed office here at school. This may take time so plan
accordingly...not every parish secretary is as efficient as Mrs. Skolney!
