Our Rite of Confirmation will take place either  Tuesday, May 5 or Wednesday May 6, 2020,  at 7 pm, at St. Cecilia Church with Bishop Peter Smith. Candidates and sponsors must arrive between 6:00 - 6:30 pm to check in at the Activity Center (gym).
 
The Mass will be bi-lingual, celebrated in both English and Spanish. A group photo will be taken immediately after the Mass in the church. Order forms will be available to purchase a group photo. PLEASE do not leave the Church until AFTER the photo is taken. A simple reception will follow in the Parish Center ABC Room after Mass with refreshments and sweets.
 
Candidates AND their sponsors must attend our retreat and rehearsal on Sunday, May 3, 2 - 5 pm, in the Activity Center (gym). If sponsors are unable to make it to the retreat or rehearsal, parents of the teen Confirmation candidate must attend in their place.
 
Items such as Bibles, candles, and rosaries can be blessed by Fr. Cary after Confirmation mass, but are not required.

Clothing Guidelines
Reglas para la ropa

 

• Dress Code: We simple ask candidates to wear their “Sunday best,” as we have no robes or particular colors that need to be worn. We do ask everyone be dressed up.
  • Males
    • a collared shirt and casual slacks with or without a tie
    • Do not wear jeans or t-shirts
    • A suit or slacks and sport coat are okay, but not required.
  • Females:
    • Dresses or a skirt with a nice blouse is preferred. They should be loose fitting and AT or just below the knee.
    • Slacks and a nice blouse are also acceptable. Again, they should be loose fitting and the pants should not be jeans or leggings.
    • Please do not wear: spandex, leggings or tights with long blouses or sweaters, low cut necklines or midriff shirts, bare back or off the shoulder tops/dresses/formal gowns.
  • Women and Men:
    • If someone comes in inappropriately dressed, he/she will be asked to wear a choir robe. This includes family and sponsors. We ask this because we want everyone to be comfortable in our space during this sacred time. This is not to shame anyone, but rather to serve as a reminder that we are in the house of God and our appearance should reflect that. Thank you!
