1 11766 Shoshone Avenue, Granada Hills, CA Phone: x440 Website: WELCOME! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family s faith journey. Our Confirmation program requires your prayer and involvement on your part, so it is important that you know ahead of time what is being asked from you. It is our prayer that you will read this handbook carefully, discuss its contents as a family, and begin preparation for this particular sacrament of Christian initiation and partner together to strengthen your child s faith. WHAT IS THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION? Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist are called the Sacraments of Initiation. Through these Sacraments we become members of the Catholic Church, a community of spirit-filled people who have been saved by Christ and who witness Christ s love in the world. Through this Sacrament, each candidate is enriched by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, bound more perfectly to the Church, and strengthened in faith. They are equipped to witness more courageously to the saving power of Christ and to passionately spread and defend their Catholic faith. ABOUT OUR PROGRAM: This two year process typically begins when the candidate enters high school. Each year, the candidate must attend 7 sessions as well as faith nights, service projects, and a retreat each year. These are all to better prepare them to receive the sacrament of Confirmation as well as to help them strengthen their faith, build community, and empower them to witness to others. You can find more information regarding these requirements in this handbook. Please use our calendar to plan sporting/club activities, parties, and vacations around your Sacrament commitment. Your participation and attendance is of the utmost importance. Our prayer is that the preceding information will enable you to devote some time to prepare, discuss, and pray about your family s involvement in this preparation for Confirmation. We hope that you do not view this program as an item on your checklist but as a new and very important chapter in your son/daughter s faith journey. The staff and volunteers of this ministry really take their roles seriously and promise to do our part. Since we only have the candidates for two years, the family s role is even more important during this process. Together, we can make this experience for each candidate a pivotal point in their faith. REGISTRATION: To fully register, please turn in the registration form that begins on page 7 along with a copy of their baptismal certificate (for 1 st year candidates), and payment. During registration, the candidate and their family will select what block they would like to attend the 7 sessions (dates are on page 6). Block preference will be given on a 1 st come basis and we can only take 20 per block. Year 2 must complete their requirements from Year 1 before processing the registration form. If you have any questions regarding the information here or any other aspect of the program, please contact us. We are always willing to assist you in any way possible. Know that you will be in our prayers and also of the entire parish community s during this time of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We look forward to working with all of you and hope this year brings many blessings to you and your families! Thank you for all of your support and cooperation, Jazmin Lugo, CYM- Confirmation Coordinator Natalie Day- Program Assistant 1

Items can also be dropped off at the rectory located across the street. LOCATION OF CLASSES: Year 1 Classes will be held in the Parish Hall located next to the Religious Ed. offices Year 2 Classes will be held in the Religious Ed. Meeting Room, also next to the Religious Ed. Offices ADMISSION POLICIES/REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS: Nondiscrimination Policy: St. Euphrasia Confirmation/ Youth Ministry admits students of all races, color, national and/or ethnic origin. The program does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices. Likewise, St. Euphrasia Confirmation/ Youth Ministry does not discriminate against any volunteer on the basis of sex, age, handicap, race, color, national and/or ethnic origin. Emergency Class Cancellation: In the event that local schools are closed due to an emergency situation, Confirmation sessions will generally be cancelled. If you have any questions about cancellation on a particular day, please call the Youth Ministry office at (818) x440 before bringing your youth to class. Sign-In/Out Procedures: Candidates will need to sign in & out at each class. They will sign-in at the beginning of class as they arrive & will sign-out AFTER returning from Mass. Attending Mass during their block schedule is required Drop off/pick up: Please do not drop off or pick up your son/daughter outside the church parking lot. This is to help ensure their safety before and after class. 2

3 Attendance: As classes only meet for 7 sessions, regular attendance is vitally important if the full benefits are to be achieved. Each student will be allowed one (1) absence in a school year/block. If there are extenuating circumstances for additional absences, a parent/guardian will need to meet with the Confirmation Coordinator before their youth will be admitted to class. Classes exceeding that amount must be made up in other blocks. *Acceptable absences include an illness, medical/dental appointment, and family emergencies. Vacations and other sport events should be scheduled around the block period if possible. When a youth is to be absent, please contact the Youth Ministry office at x440. If we do not hear from you, and we realize your youth is absent, a call will be made to your home. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Tardiness: Late arrivals are disruptive to the class and unfair to the teacher. Sessions will begin promptly at 3:00pm. If a youth is excessively tardy, he/she runs the risk of having to repeat a block of classes. Illness: If a student must be sent home due to illness or injury, parents/guardians are notified and are required to pick up their youth immediately. If we are unable to contact the parents, we will try to contact the person listed with us to care for such emergencies. Please keep these names and numbers current by immediately notifying us and updating or completing a new emergency treatment authorization form. Students will not be sent home alone. Phone calls to parents requesting that they pick up their youth due to illness or injury may only be made by Youth Ministry/Confirmation personnel. First Aid: Youth Ministry/Confirmation personnel may render first aid and emergency care only. They do not diagnose or give medical treatment. 911 will be called when deemed necessary. Parents/guardians will be contacted if services of a physician or other medical professional are necessary. Child Abuse Protection and Reporting Policy: St. Euphrasia Confirmation/Youth Ministry, consistent with diocesan policy and local legal codes, has a moral and legal duty to comply with the law to ensure the welfare of a youth. Therefore, we will report any instances of suspected child abuse concerning our students, whether such an instance involves St. Euphrasia/Youth Ministry personnel, students, parents or others. This policy is strictly followed. In the event parent/guardians or students suspect that child abuse, in any form, has taken place on campus, the incident should be immediately reported to the Confirmation Coordinator, who will then notify the Pastor. St. Euphrasia Confirmation/Youth Ministry requires each of its catechists and volunteers to complete VIRTUS Training and to be fingerprinted through the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The VIRTUS training is structured to prevent child abuse through screening, education, awareness and reporting. 3
