Middle & High School Confirmation Registration 2021-22
The St. Thomas More Newman Center & Sacred Heart Parishes have a combined Middle & High School Confirmation Program. For the 2021-2022 academic year, Confirmation is open to students in 7th-12th grades. There will be separate preparation for middle and high school groups but both will be meet at the Newman Center on second Sunday afternoons from 2:30-4:30 p.m. from September through April.
REQUIREMENTS: Each student must attend class sessions. In addition, each participant must complete two mentored service experiences, a day or weekend retreat, a letter to Bishop McKnight, and meeting with his or her pastor prior to April 2022. Students are also expected to meet with their sacramental sponsor several times throughout the year outside of scheduled events.
COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS: We are planning to do all events in-person if Covid rates remain low. We very much encourage students participating to be vaccinated if they are able to. Masking and social distancing guidelines will take into account Columbia Public Schools guidelines. We ask for courtesy toward others in the program. Please also be in touch with us if your child cannot be vaccinated or needs to modify participation based on Covid concerns. We'll do our best to be clear and fair. There will be official kick-off meetings in late August and we will have better information about Covid related restrictions at that time.
By filling out this form, you're acknowledging that you understand these rules and will comply with them. You also release the Newman Center, Sacred Heart, and all volunteers from being held liable for any illness or injury.
A complete list of requirements and deadlines will be available at our family meetings in late August.
