Finally finished editing the recording for the in-person class on 04-12-22. Sorry for the wait! If you missed that night, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgLBptly-8

Reminder that if you miss a class, you can watch one of the uploaded videos and write a reflection. You can either hand in a paper copy of that reflection on the next in-person class (13-01-23) or e-mail it to [email protected]

Some guiding questions for the reflection:
1. What am I learning about?
2. What information is new to me, and what information did I already know? From where?
3. How can I apply this information to my daily life?
4. How can I use this information to be a better Catholic?

Additionally, an update for the class that was cancelled due to the weather forecast: due to its proximity to Christmas, there was no scheduled lesson for that class. It was always going to be a more social class, where we were going to watch the Nativity Story and informally discuss how secular Christmas came from sacred Christmas, and what changed might be harmful, and what new inclusions might be helpful. If you're interested in that topic, you can watch the movie and reflect on some of the questions outlined. Here is the link:

Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a wonderful holiday, and we will see you again on January 13th to talk about sponsors.

Hello everyone. An unfortunate announcement -- Confirmation class tonight is cancelled due to the forecasted freezing rain. We have made a call to all the core schools (Bosco, Kateri, and SAL) and are in the process of calling parents for other schools. Please do not come to the church tonight, no one will be there. We will see you again in the new year. Have a good Christmas!
