Our Confirmation Program Needs Your Help!

Our Confirmation program is looking for Table Leads. This position requires someone who enjoys sharing our faith, talking about Mass, plus communal and personal prayer with young teenagers. A Table Lead commits to about 3 hours per month of their time.

Table Leads arrive 15 minutes before class to prepare their table for their Candidates (8–10th grade). They will sit at their table as the lesson is taught and then guide their Candidates through the activity or questions of the week. Confirmation Year 1, uses the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic Youth Bible, and Decision Point by Matthew Kelly. Table Leads are required to attend a Safe Environment Training and pass a background check.

Positions Needed:

• 8 Table Leads at 12:30 pm on Sacred Heart Campus
• 8 Table Leads at 5:00 pm in the Parish Center

Committment:

• 18 sessions spread Sep-May
• Sundays
• each session 1 hr 15 m

Do you like to cook? Do you wish you could share your talent?

We invite you to share it with the youth of our parish! The programs for our Middle School, High School Youth Ministry and Confirmation Years 1 and 2 are looking for your help with meals.

Each meals will be split among (4) participants and serving about 25 people each session. Once enrolled, you will be contacted with the details. Click the Sign Up Genius icon for the link.

Please, help us give these teens a time of fellowship with a homecooked meal! There's only so much PIZZA a teen can eat, right?!
