Regarding the Confirmation preparation being offered in this format for the first time, please know that Cardinal DiNardo  has given his blessing for students with intellectual/developmental delays from parishes around the archdiocese to be prepared together at this location. Participants are to have already celebrated the Sacrament of Holy Communion, as well as their sixteenth birthday. A more remedial/pictorial resource titled, Sacraments: Gifts for All, will be utilized. Students prepared in these classes will later join in celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with other youth from the St. Ignatius of Loyola faith community.
 
Regarding God's Holy Family Retreat - please note that the registration deadline is October 1 and a minimum of 12 registrations are required for this event to proceed. Registrations are considered complete when payment in full has been received by the deadline date.

You may know that the Bishops of the United States have placed an emphasis in the Church on marriage this year. On their website (www.usccb.org) is a section dedicated to this vocation (www.foryourmarriage.org). From that site, the following article may be of interest to you ~ http://foryourmarriage.org/marriage-and-a-special-needs-child/.Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the above that you'd like to discuss further. And as always, feel free to share this information with others. Thank you!
