Moderator/Pastor/Administrator/Director's of Discipleship Formation:
Thank you for all the hard work you do to ensure that the Confirmandi are prepared to receive this outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Helping these young men and women receive this Sacrament must be a particular blessing in your apostolate. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put in to continue to make this possible. As your family prepares to schedule dates for Confirmation, please be advised of the changes as we continue to move into the mission of Family of Parishes.
This form is to request dates as a FoP for the Confirmation season of Fall 2024 - Spring 2025
Please follow these important steps to request dates for Confirmation:
1. Please read through the instructions and the form in its entirety.
2. Complete the entire form.
3. Double-check that all information is provided.
4. Please do not contact any of the Bishops. This is extremely important in order to keep a record of all of the Confirmations. All the Confirmations are coordinated and recorded via this online form through the Confirmation Coordinator, Patsy Casnovsky. In the “Comments” section below, you may request a specific Bishop for the Confirmation; however, the request may or may not be honored depending on each Bishop's availability. I will always try my best.
5. With the submission, the family must provide a minimum of three DIFFERENT (3) dates. If three dates are not provided, the request will not be submitted, and your request will not be placed.
6. Once the Confirmation Coordinator has arranged a date with one of the Bishop's offices, the contact person will be notified by an emailed verification letter followed by a mailed verification letter to the family Moderator and/or pastor of a family.
7. The Liturgical Planning Sheet (LPS) is accessed online through Smartsheet via a link electronically which is provided below. Please keep it for your reference as this link will never change. https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/9fe312bdc680414cb79ad9cc867b330.
8. Please note: Unfortunately, you cannot save your work on this form and come back to it. You must fill out and submit it at one time or you will lose all your information
9. Please understand the process of receiving a date for Confirmation may be quick or it may take weeks. It all depends on the Bishop's availability and time.
10. Lastly, it is not mandatory or a requirement to work as a Family. We are encouraging you to work as a Family and we ask that you talk with your Family and Family Moderator before submitting dates. We hope this begins the talk in your Family on celebrating Confirmation in the future as this is the direction we are headed as a Family of Parishes.
This is not a mandate. It is ultimately up to the Family of Parishes and Family Moderator.
Please direct all your questions and concerns to Patsy Casnovsky, Office of Bishop Fisher and Confirmation Coordinator for the AoD
