Update
Next Confirmation 2 Zoom Class Sunday, December 6th 7:00-8:00 pm
Please share the above Zoom link with your child so they can attend the next Confirmation 2 class this Sunday, December 6th from 7:00-8:00 pm.
Students should log into the Zoom link 5-10 minutes before class to assure proper connection.
Vocations The next two classes will focus on Vocations. A Vocation is a call from God inviting us to share in His mission in this world. We each have a vocation which is a call to holiness. It is in answering that call that we find true joy in life.
There are many ways to achieve this holiness. Whereas marriage is the most common vocation, others are called to Dedicated Single Life, Permanent Diaconate, the Religious Life, and the Priesthood.
The focus of our evening's discussion on December 6th is "The Vocation of Monastic Life." Two religious from the Mount Saint Mary Abbey in Wrentham will share their experiences as women who heard God's call and now live a life dedicated to poverty, chastity and obedience. The Religious sisters serve as an earthly example of how we should live our lives with hearts fixed on Christ. Please review Lessons 17, 18 & 21 from the Chosen book prior to class.
Service Hours Confirmation candidates are asked to serve their parish and surrounding community by participating in one In-Parish and one Out-of-Parish service opportunity each year. Click here for the Service Hours Log Form. Visit the Faith Formation tab of our parish website at pwc.churchto access the log form or to see service ideas. Completed Service Log Forms should be submitted to the St. Mary office by March 26, 2021.
A great parish service opportunity is to volunteer as a Hospitality greeter or usher at Masses. Students can achieve their 3 hours of In-Parish service by volunteering at 3 Masses. Please email the Mass days and times that you would like to volunteer to: [email protected].
