Adult Preparation for Confirmation

Occasionally a baptized adult, who has already received First Eucharist, needs preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Fr. Dennis will conduct a series of informal sessions for such adults at least 18 years old. These five sessions will be held on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. at the rectory of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, beginning February 18th. If you are interested or need more information, please contact him at 366-1750.

Spanish Confirmation Preparation

There will be a series of classes following the Spanish Mass for Spanish speaking adults who were never confirmed. These classes will begin on Sunday, February 17th at 4 p.m. If you wish to attend these Spanish Language sessions, contact Fr. Dennis as soon as possible.

Our Parish Ministries Need Your Help

A jigsaw puzzle will never be completed if someone withholds a piece. This parish resembles a puzzle missing various pieces. Do you hold one of them? Do you have the gift or talent that we need? There are many unfulfilled slots for parish ministry. Some require occasional participation; others require a more regular involvement.

• Can you sing in the choir or play an instrument?
• Could you serve as an usher?
• What about lectoring after some proper training?
• How about altar serving; as a youth or an adult?
• Can you serve as Minster of the Eucharist at Mass or to the homebound?
