St. Emily and St. Thomas Becket candidates for confirmation in Spring, 2021 began their preparation in the fall of 2019.
Because of the Covid-19 public health emergency, planning is still in flux for the activities that we would normally expect.
- David Mika and Renata Sosin will be in touch about arrangements for an online / remote substitute for the Confirmation retreat in January.
- Our Confirmation is scheduled for March 14, but that will probably be recalculated. As we see the effects of infection rates and the demands on church capacity, there may be other ceremonies scheduled in the spring of 2021.
- This form with the information about the patron saint and sponsor must be filled out and submitted by January 15.
- This form must be submitted for the sponsor by January 20.

Choosing a patron saint
- Look at the liturgical calendar and find out if your birthday is a saint’s feast day. You can find the calendar here.
- Look for patron saints of something that you are interested in. (For example, St. Isidore of Seville is the patron saint of the internet!) See the Patron Saints Index.
- Browse and look for someone who did something that you think you would like to live up to. Here is the general site to explore.
