Confirmation

Confirmation 2022 Information

St. Vital Parish is beginning its sacramental preparation program for all children in Grade 6 and up who are interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 28, 2022. It is our hope that COVID concerns will have subsided and that class sessions will once again take place in-person in the church basement, on the first Monday of each month from 7 – 9 p.m. However, if COVID persists and it is not safe to gather in-person, classes will be held virtually, by Zoom.

Registration Packages Now Available

Many more details are provided in the registration packages, which are available through:

• The school office at Mother d’Youville Catholic School (5330 Rue Parc, Beaumont), or
• The school office at École Quatre-Saisons (5505 Magasin Avenue, in Bryant Heritage Plaza), or
• The parish office at St. Vital Church. The parish office is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. – noon and from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. The parish office phone number is 780-929-8541.

Please Submit Registrations by November 26

If at all possible, please drop off completed registrations to Mother d’Youville Catholic School, École Quatre-Saisons, or St. Vital parish office by noon on Friday, November 26 during their opening hours. When your child’s registration form and the $40.00 registration fee have been received, you will receive a copy of the student workbook, Decision Point, published by Dynamic Catholic.

Remember that, in order for your child to be confirmed, your child must already have been baptized. A copy of your child’s baptismal certificate must be submitted with their registration.

Parent Night on November 22

A parent information night is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, November 22. Please plan to attend, as important information regarding Confirmation will be provided and any questions you have will be addressed. As long as it is safe to do so, this will be an in-person meeting in the Church basement. Otherwise, we will meet by Zoom. Be sure to include your email address on your registration form. If your registration form is not submitted to the parish office, Mother d’Youville School, or École Quatre-Saisons by Friday, November 19, please contact Louis Kloster by email at lpkloster@gmail.com and share your email address. In the event that we must meet virtually, a Zoom invitation can be sent to you prior to the parent meeting on November 22.
