Those who have completed 9th grade Catechesis at Annunciation Parish and who are now in 10th grade and above, will be welcome to enroll in the Confirmation II – Come Holy Spirit! program. This final course will only meet until the reception of the sacrament on November TBD. This program is designed to aid students as they mature in their faith in this new, very secular world.
Classes will start with the noon mass at Holy Spirit, and then proceed to the Church Hall where we will meet from 1pm-2pm. The exception to this is when we will be having the Confirmation Retreat. This retreat will again start with the noon mass, and end at 5pm. Lunch will be served. If you have any questions or are interested in teaching for our program, please contact Deacon Jim at the Religious Education department via email ([email protected]) or phone (860) 729 - 5032.

The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home – both positive and negative – provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to live his or her faith as well as understanding it. The goal of the Annunciation Religious Education Program is to create a program which fosters lifelong faith formation rooted in Christ, promotes faith growth at home and encourages participation in Church life.
