Description |
The Confirmation Spectacular is a rally and retreat day for Junior High youth who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. As the day unfolds, youth will have an opportunity to examine the gifts that they bring to the Catholic Community, to reflect on their own faith journey, and to consider where it is leading them beyond Confirmation. The day includes high energy presentations, lively music, and creative prayer and retreat activities geared for active Junior High youth. To conclude the day, we will celebrate the baptismal call to service through a youth-focused Sunday Liturgy. |
