Prayer Review- Grade 7

Apologetics Sessions!

Being able to explain your faith clearly and with compassion is important as a confirmed Catholic. The Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles as a tongue of FIRE; the light of Truth and the warmth of Love. This required Apologetics session will help you do just that! Choose one session time for this year for the candidate and a parent to attend together.

The Importance of Weekly Mass Attendance

Do not miss an opportunity to encounter Christ!

Please remember that weekly Mass attendance is a basic expectation for all baptized Catholics. Mass is the greatest prayer of the Church and the very best way that we can communicate our deep gratitude for everything our Lord endured to make this Banquet possible for us. Our participation at weekly Mass is an appropriate response to the love that our Blessed Lord pours out on us lavishly at every moment that we exist. Attending Mass every Sunday liturgy (includes Saturday evening Masses after 4pm) is an act of obedience to the 3rd Commandment (divine law) and the 1st Precept of the Catholic Church. Your presence at Mass each week is non negotiable unless you are sick.

Saint of the Week!

Each week complete a little lesson on a saint so you can learn more about them and their lives. Maybe you will be called to choose one of them as your Confirmation saint! To help keep on track, the forms will close at the end of each quarter so be sure to complete them on time.

At the end of each quarter, the 1st Year Confirmation Sacramental Review Spreadsheet should be updated with the information we have received during the quarter.

If you miss a saint on a quarter, we will not be opening the saint forms again, but the candidates can make up the saint form by using the biography link and following the steps below. These make-up assignments MUST be turned in by the end of each quarter to receive credit.

How to Submit the Saint Form Make-up

1) Under each saint form link, there is a link to the biography of that saint. Have your child read the biographies for the saint forms they are missing.

2) After your child reads each biography, he/she needs to write FIVE meaningful facts that was learned about each saint (NOT just the year they died or what they are the patron saint of, however ONE of these types of facts is acceptable per saint).

3) Every saint your child researches should be written about separately in one document. Please only send ONE typed document with ALL the saints needed to complete for the quarter included. The write-ups for each individual saint can be written as a list of facts or a paragraph. Please have your child title each saint write-up with the week number and saint name (ex: Week 6: Saint Benedict). Make sure your child puts his/her name at the top of the document!

4) If your child turns in this make-up incomplete (not enough facts or incorrect information) he/she will not receive credit for completion (obviously) so please review the document with your child before you send it!

5) This make-up assignment should be emailed to ffa@holytrinityparish.net . Please use this subject so it is not missed: Saint Form Make up- Child’s First and Last Name (ex: Saint Form Make up- Sally Jones)
