  • LETTER TO THE PASTOR

    All Candidates for Confirmation will write a letter to your Pastor requesting that he present them to the bishop and recommend that they be confirmed.  This letter should be turned into the Faith Formation Department (email to Clare Giuffre, cgiuffre@greatgrouping.org, or hard copy). We will give all letters to Father together. The letter should be formatted as a letter from the Candidate to Father and must include the following:

    • Personal introduction including your name, what school you go to, and why you want to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

    • What is your Confirmation Saint Name, and why did you choose it? Why is this saint/name meaningful to you?

    • The name of your sponsor and why you chose this person. What good Catholic qualities does this person possess that makes them a good sponsor?

    • What service experience you participated in and what you learned from it.

    • What receiving the sacrament of Confirmation means to you.

    • How you intend to be involved in the life of the parish after Confirmation (in addition to coming to Mass).

    Letters must be submitted by October 1 but may be submitted before then.  If you email, please include “Letter to Pastor” in the subject line.
