BACKGROUND

There are many adults who are active parishioners and for whatever reason did not receive the sacrament of Confirmation in their formation. Over the years their journey of faith has led them to our Lady of the Lake Catholic community where they have become active participants. This program directs attention to these parishioners. It is clear from their commitment and presence at the Eucharist on Sunday that they are serious about their faith. This program's plan is a direct response to their situation. It’s purpose is to focus sufficient formation in a short period of time where these parishioners may complete the sacraments of initiation.

What is required to serve in this Ministry?

All lay ministers are specifically interviewed and trained adult parishioners to participate in this ministry. This effort is coordinated and directed by trained parishioners with oversight by the Parish Pastoral Associate. Yearly formation and periodic gatherings with other Confirmation catechists is a standard, which we embrace. Lay ministers must attend required trainings sessions, possess the ability to listen, and be prayerful. Contact the parish office for further information.
