We will have two options for the Mass of the Rite of Confirmation- Tuesday, May 11th with Bishop Peter Smith in English, and Thursday, May 13th with Archbishop Emeritus Vlazny in Spanish. You can sign up for the Mass you wish to attend below. Candidates and sponsors must arrive at least 15 min early to check in. PLEASE NOTE: Each candidate will have ONE pew in the main body of the church for themselves, their sponsor, and any additional family members, which fits about 6 people. If you want more than one pew, a livestream of the Masses will be available for additional people in the Activity Center/gym with Communion being brought over as well.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who can sign up to attend?
Each candidate will need to sign up and indicate the total number of people attending in their group, including themselves and their sponsor. Mask are required.
How do I know if I actually signed up correctly?
You will get a email from Sign Up Genius 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). This is not ideal.
Will there be a rehearsal?
Yes. There will be a mandatory rehearsal Monday, May 10, 6- 7 pm, for both candidates AND sponsors. in the Church. 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! There will also be seats in the Activity Center/Gym for additional seating.
