Confirmation Retreat 2022

​Who: For current 8th graders seeking Confirmation.

What: A day retreat to prepare students for Confirmation.

When: Saturday, February 12 from 9:00AM - 5:00PM.

Where: Basilica of St. Adalbert in Grand Rapids.
​
We highly encourage retreat attendance for all students who desire to be confirmed. We will be providing games, snacks, lunch, Mass, and prayer time. This is a joint retreat between four local parishes, so students will have the opportunity to meet other young Catholics.

We are working with some guest speakers for a special session to benefit you, the parents, and your teen's sponsors. That talk is being planned for 3pm. From there, your teen will be dismissed to you in time for 4pm Mass in the basilica. You are welcome to bring your entire family with you so you can all attend Mass together at the basilica after you hear the talk.  
We will have activities for your younger children to participate in while you are listening to the speaker.  
Please let me know how many children will be with you so we can provide enough games and activities for them.
