Confirmation Packet for 2013 Confirmandi

Transcription

1 Confirmation Packet for 2013 Confirmandi Due: March 20, 2013 This is not a test. You will not receive grades for this material. However, if you fail to complete these questions completely, it states that you are not ready to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. You can find the answers in your Bible, your workbook What the Church Believes and Teaches, Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic Outline (pamphlet located in the back of the Church and/or Parish Center) and on some web sites. Be sure the web site is a reputable source for information. Please contact your catechist, Deacon Bill, Father Kris or Mrs. Menard, if you have any questions or if you need any assistance. Directions Must be done in legible handwriting on lined paper, from the Confirmandi (no computer print outs accepted). You can use a wire bound notebook, composition notebook or loose leaf paper. Please answer questions in order and be sure that they are numbered (and lettered) properly. Absolutely no cheating, meaning you may work on it together but one Confirmandi is not allowed to copy from another Confirmandi. Due on March 20, 201 You may hand it in early if you wish. You will receive notice if it was not done satisfactorily. All packets will be returned on April 27, the Confirmation retreat in St. Edward s Parish Center.
