POSTPONED:Confirmation

Confirmation for tenth graders will be held at St. Bernard again this year with the Most Rev. Donald J. Hying presiding. Mass will begin at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11 in the church.
To prepare, a candidate and sponsor meeting will be held possibly via Zoom, said Zoe Bernard, the new director of religious education for grades six through 12. The date has not been set at this time. If the sponsor lives out of town, the candidate should make a commitment to discuss their faith with their sponsor without the face-to-face meetings. Please contact Bernard if you have any other sponsor questions at zoe@stbmidd.org. Candidates must also attend a Confirmation day-long retreat that will be held here at St. Bernard sometime this fall. Bernard also encourages students to prayerfully discern if they are ready for Confirmation. She said that deferring Confirmation one or more years is totally acceptable and would show that you are taking your faith journey seriously.
