  9:30am-11:00am at St. Irene (Parish Hall, before Mass)
  4:00-5:30pm at Holy Family (Lower Hall of St. Bernard Church)

• Some Questions about the Future:

  Confirmation Date in 2024?

  We have submitted requested dates to the Archdiocese of Boston (late April or May) and we will inform registered families once we are told when Confirmation will be.

   

  What can a teen do now to prepare for next year?

  Tony would like to meet with as many teens as possible during the summer - either on Zoom or in person, for a 30 minute conversation as the first step in Confirmation preparation. Stay tuned for more information.

   

  What if I have friends who did not participate in 2022-2023 but want to receive Confirmation in 2024?

  Please send them to our website to review our ministry and watch the informational video (above), but also have them contact Tony.

   

  What if I was registered in 2022-2023 but I didn't come to all the sessions nor finished all the Home Faith Reflections (make-ups)?

  You're missing out! It would be better if you could make those up during the summer, but check in with me if you have any concerns.
