Cool Catholic Things...
To start the new year off with some fun, I'm including this link to a video of fun Catholic facts presented by a Franciscan priest, Fr. Casey Cole, OFM. He hosts a popular YouTube channel, Breaking in the Habit, you might all enjoy.

Just a reminder that you received confirmation packets last year - many due dates are included in that packet, so please refer to that often. Also, we have extra copies if you need one. There is also a copy below if you would like to reference it.
Dress Code for Confirmation Details - some of you may be planning ahead, here are the details:
Boys - Dress pants w/ a belt, dress shirt tucked in, dress shoes w/ dark socks. Suit and/or tie is optional, but encouraged.
Girls - Dresses must be modest, appropriate for this sacrament. I know this can be tough to find, but please make sure: shoulders, backs, stomachs are covered, nothing too short (should be at the knee or longer) or too low cut across the chest (no cleavage showing).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
