IMPORTANT NEW CONFIRMATION RETREAT INFORMATION

We are announcing a change to the upcoming 9th & 10th grade Confirmation Retreat. 

The retreat will take place SATURDAY, JANUARY 27 from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM at Holy Cross.  We will NOT be travelling to Attleboro.  

All 9th and 10th grade students should arrive at Holy Cross by 8:30 AM on January 27.  We will conduct the retreat as a day-long session rather than a 2-night trip.  Students will be dismissed at 9:00 PM Saturday evening.

• Lunch, Dinner and snacks will be provided.
• The cost of the retreat has been reduced from $125 to $25.  Families who have already paid for the retreat will be reimbursed the difference in cost.
• We are still seeking snack donations for the retreat.  Nothing home-made please.  Bottled water, fruit (especially Clementine’s), bulk snacks from Sam's or BJ's are always welcome.  No Soda, No Red Punch, No Peanuts please.
• Palanca letters (letters of encouragement) to your child should still be prepared. Please bring them Saturday when you drop off your child. A more detailed explanation can be found reading the Palanca Request file.
• Emergency contact slips that you can complete when your drop off your teen are required.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  Please contact us should you have any questions and thank you for your understanding.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONFIRMATION MASSES:

• This year’s 10th grade students will be confirmed this year in May as scheduled.
• This year’s 9th grade students will be confirmed in the early Fall.  If the 9th grade student has attended the retreat on the 27th, they will only need to attend the rehearsal in the Fall.  If they did not attend the retreat, they will need to attend a 1-day session prior to being confirmed in the Fall.  Dates for 9th grade confirmation Mass and the 1-day session will be announced as soon as the Diocese assigns a date to us.
