7th Grade
Confirmation Preparation
Welcome to your 1st year of Confirmation preparation! In order to be eligible to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 2027, the below requirements must be met by all 7th grade candidates:
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend all scheduled Religious Education classes. In the event of an absence, parents must complete the missed assignments with their child and email pictures of the completed assignments to absentwork@stjosephgcreled.org. In the event of excessive absences, a child may be required to repeat this final year of Catechism, which would delay the date of his/her Confirmation.
Google Classroom Assignments
Part of the preparation includes independent assignments on Google Classroom. These assignments meet the requirements of the Diocese for all of those preparing for Confirmation. These assignments, entitled My Faith Journey, will be provided through Google Classroom. The completed assignments must be submitted by the students by the due dates listed below.
Community Service
An important part of the Google Classroom Assignments is the community service requirement of Confirmation. The purpose of these assignments is to emphasize the importance of the Gospel’s message of service to others.
Each student must perform three (3) separate community service projects* (note that we do not measure service with a minimum number of hours). If you need assistance in finding opportunities, a list of available events is available in the Religious Education office.
When your child completes any service project, please ask the supervisor for a letter with a signature stating that your child volunteered. These letters will eventually be uploaded into Google Classroom, as part of Assignment #4.
