FAQs:
Who can sign up to attend?
Each candidate will need to sign up and bring one additional person with them, who must be their sponsor or a "proxy" for their sponsor. Remember one of those people will need to be your sponsor. Masks are strongly encouraged, but not mandated. Each Mass will be capped at 25 people as per Oregon state mandates.
How do I know if I actually signed up correctly?
You will get a email from Flocknote as soon as you sign up confirming your spot(s) as Mass. If you didn't receive a confirmation email, you're probably not signed up. I am happy to check for you if you're signed up if you want.
What if my sponsor can't make it?
You will chose someone else to stand in as a "proxy" sponsor (usually one of your parents or a family member.) The proxy will physically take the place of your sponsor during the rite of confirmation, but in your sacramental records, your original sponsor will be listed. If your sponsor will not be able to make it you need to let Amanda know who your proxy will be (if applicable)
Will there be a rehearsal?
Yes. There will be a mandatory virtual rehearsal via Zoom in English, Saturday, July 31, 6:30 - 7 pm, for both candidates AND sponsors. The Zoom link is below. If you have difficulty attending for whatever reason, please let me know so we can work something out.

Can I bring items to be blessed (like rosaries, Bibles, candles, etc.)?
Absolutely, but they are not required. Fr. Cary or Fr. Peter will take time to bless these items during the Masses.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, you will receive a certificate after Mass is over, so please don't leave right away.
Will masses be livestreamed since we can't bring more people to Mass with us?
Definitely. Our confirmation masses will be livestreamed on our website at https://stceciliachurch.org/liturgy-broadcasts so anyone from anywhere can watch!
