Greetings Parents of Confirmation Candidates!
I hope you are staying well and enjoying this glimpse of spring!
An important part of the confirmation preparation is a confirmation retreat. Despite the uncertainty COVID-19 brings, we want to offer these retreats this year.
The retreats cannot be a class field trip as in the past, therefore, we have arranged for five retreat opportunities students can signup for.
If you cannot make one of the in-person opportunities or would prefer your child to attend an online option, you may select the online option.
We ask that when selecting the in-person retreat, you select the date and time which is specifically carved out for the students' school. This will balance our numbers better and allow your child to have the retreat experience surrounded by their peers.
Covid safety protocols as they stand at the time of these retreats (i.e. masking, social distancing, etc.) will be in place.
At this time, we will not be serving food or snacks.
If restrictions change and we can no longer accommodate in-person gatherings, we will keep the same time and dates, simply switching to an online format. In this event, a link will be emailed out to you all.
