CONFIRMATION COMMUNITY SERVICE/SERVICIO COMUNITARIO
Community service teaches our youth to become Christ-like in our community by serving others and organizations in need. We are requiring a minimum of 10 hours of service per year (20 total hours).  Please refer to the Confirmation orientation for a list of ideas. Please start discussing with your child what service projects they would be interested in doing.  Each child is responsible for logging their own hours with a description of what they did and whom in the community this served. They must complete 20 hours of service by the end of their second year. 
El servicio comunitario les enseña a nuestros jóvenes a convertirse en la semejanza de Cristo en nuestra comunidad sirviendo a los demás y a las organizaciones necesitadas. Requerimos 20 horas de servicio en total. Estas horas se pueden completar en su primer año. Participaran con el fin de que su hijo(a) pueda aprender a ser líder en el servicio de la planeación, la implementación, el fin y la evaluación. Vea la orientación para Confirmación para una lista de sugerencia de servicios comunitarios. El joven es responsable de llevar un conteo de horas más aparte incluir una descripción de que hicieron, las horas que sirvieron y la fecha.

Contrato de Responsabilidades de Padres y Adolescentes (Grado 6-10)
La confirmación es el sacramento final de iniciación para los católicos y requiere un compromiso de ambos padres / tutores y el participante adolescente. Por favor oren en familia mientras revisan la siguiente lista antes de iniciar cada declaración. Al iniciar cada declaración, yo, como padre o tutor y adolescente, estoy de acuerdo y me comprometo con lo siguiente:

I understand that I will have the support of the Faith Formation department and Catechist in order to ensure that my child is prepared to receive the Sacrament and that their role will be SECONDARY to mine the parent. 

If we should require to have the sessions online, I understand that my child will need their own personal device (not from their school) to participate in sessions. 

I understand that my child is allowed to miss only 2 sessions and that I am responsible to ensure that my child is up to date on the lessons he or she missed. The 2 absences apply to being online and in person.  

I will make sure that my child watches the videos and reads the lesson in his/her book before the session. I understand that it is not the Catechist's role to show the videos or read from the book. The Catechist will assist in reinforcing and adding to what was taught by the parent at home. 

I will make sure that my child attends his/her classes on time, is prepared to share and brings his/her book, and respects the property of St. Anthony's School. 

I understand that if my child is not prepared for class (having watched videos beforehand and read lesson) and/or the Catechist cannot see or hear the participant it will be considered an ABSENCE. 

It is my responsibility to contact the Catechist 20-30 minutes before an ONLINE class if I am having technical difficulties or did not receive email invite for class. 

I understand that it is a mortal sin not to attend mass and that I will participate by attending mass in person or virtually (while we have dispensation) with my child. 

I agree to attend all workshops, retreats, and parent meetings. If I cannot attend, I will find another adult to attend in my place.  

I understand that the Sacrament cannot be forced and that my child must be willing to participate in sessions and want to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

I understand that it might take more than the 2 year process for my child to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. My child is ready to receive when he/she has been fully prepared. 

I understand that if I select NO to any of the answers above, my child's registration will be put on hold until someone from the Faith Formation department contacts me.
