Confirmation Preparation

Registration Form

Confirmation Calendar 2021-2022

** Summer Vision Retreat  Due to the current COVID restrictions we are unable to fulfil our service retreat obligation with our Annual VISION RETREATS held at the Library over the Summer. After a very successful incorporation into the classroom curriculum last year we are going to keep it the same this year as well.  There will be multiple service opportunities also offered throughout the year.


We will continue to use Google Classroom.  Please read the letter included in the email that explains the Google Classroom set up for all Candidates and their emails.  We will be sending information to the candidates and we may be holding some online meetings with them.  They will also receive all of the rubric and assignments through Google Classroom in addition to the folder and your emails.

All the information you will need will be communicated through email.  Each Candidate will receive a folder with hard copies of all the paperwork and information as well. To address any questions and to offer any updates,  I am also available at susans@saintmaryparish.com and 859-445-1688. 


**Ministry Registration Form and Fee is due on or before the Parent Meeting for WERE and SMS (all forms and fees can be turned into school/ WERE/parish office (drop box is also fine) on or before the due dates.)  Printable version is attached.  There will also be a copy in your folder which you can fill out.  FEE is $40.00 (link is above)
