I am grateful that we get to start this journey toward the Sacrament of Confirmation together. We are living in a season that has been unpredictable and sometimes disheartening. I do not know the hardships that you may have endured during this time but I will continue to pray for you as you are a part of this Parish Community of HRSJ. We have an opportunity to hold on to the hope that was promised to us. We have an opportunity right now to step closer to God then we ever thought imaginable. Now is the time to look to each other and pray together in confidence remembering that we are all unconditionally loved by our God. We will begin our journey together, parents and teens, on
We will meet together virtually (zoom) in order to discuss the logistics of the next two years and how it will afford you an opportunity to grow in faith and grow closer together as a household. Please look for the ZOOM link 30 minutes prior to our meeting on Saturday night. There will be pertinent info discussed so please be ready! ALSO, if you know of anyone who has not yet registered please forward them this link do they can join us on this journey! https://www.hrsjlifeteen.com/registration-year-1.html If you have any questions, please text me via Remind. Looking forward to Saturday, God bless. Zoom Meeting:
I’d like to have a “walk through” tomorrow evening at 6:00 pm via zoom. I will go over seating and the “how to’s” of approaching Fr. Mike to receive the Sacrament. If you are unable to view the Zoom meeting tomorrow evening I will make the recording available on Wednesday Via Youtube. Seating: Seating will be available on Friday beginning at 4:30pm Seating will be available on Saturday at 5:00pm There will be stations that are marked by a cone on the field where we ask you to sit with your family while maintaining social distancing from other families. Pictures: Please feel free to take pictures/video while your teen is being confirmed from where you are seated. Pictures with Fr. Mike and Sister Karen will take place following Mass on the steps of the church. Saint Names: Please have your Saint Name Ready so it can be written on a card as you check in and attached to your clothing as you approach Father Mike to be confirmed. IParents and Teens,
We have officially been approved to celebrate the Rite of Confirmation We will celebrate two separate Rites, divided in half, alphabetically. DATE: August 7th and 8th. .
LOCATION: The front lawn of St. James Church. TIME: We proposed a 7PM start time on August 7th and a 10AM start time on August 8th. I have surveyed the field along with Fr. Mike and Sister Karen. The sun is not forgiving during those times and shade is hard to come by. We are currently evaluating if a time change would be best for all of our attendees. HOW MANY CAN ATTEND PER FAMILY?: We are limited to 100 attendees at each Confirmation Mass. This would allow you to have an average of 4 family members + confirmation sponsor and teen to attend the Mass. 6 people per household total. ALTERNATIVE OPTION: I have consulted with many other Youth Ministers and Confirmation Coordinators from all over Los Angeles. *Most Confirmation Coordinators surveyed parents to see if they would be willing to postpone the Rite of Confirmation for their teens and wait until the Rite can be celebrated inside of a church (limited attendance still applied). I will now offer you the same option. Below is a link to a quick Doodle poll that will determine how we will move forward. As soon as I garner enough responses I will follow up with more info. https://doodle.com/poll/8a6vw5cy74v6fu8u -- In Christ, Michael Paul Leon Director of Youth Ministry - Confirmation Coordinator HRSJ Unified Catholic Community Parents, Here is some basic info for the retreat this weekend Friday Feb 7th - Sunday Feb 9th.
