Confirmation classes are all online this year.  You can register and start at any time.  They are entirely self-paced.  They can be accessed from any device, even a smartphone (Android or IPhone both work).  Work your classes into your schedule however it works best for you.

Requirements:

• All Confirmation candidates must have already received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confession, and First Communion through the Catholic Church. If you haven't received these Sacraments, contact the office-you'll need to be in the RCIA or RCIC program for Confirmation.
• Have a copy of your Baptism certificate ready to submit at the time of registration.  If you don't have one, contact the Church where you were Baptised and they can provide you with a copy.  You will be asked to upload this at the time of registration.  If you're not comfortable uploading it online you need to get it to the office in a way you are comfortable submitting it.  We have to have a copy of your Baptism certificate in order to recommend you for Confirmation and in order to create your Confirmation certificate.  All names and dates on your Confirmation certificate will exactly match your Baptism certificate.  If there are errors on your Baptism certificate you must contact the Church where you were Baptized and request a correction.
• You must have selected your Sponsor.  Sponsor must be above the age of 16, Confirmed through the Catholic Church, if married, their marriage needs to be blessed by the Catholic Church.  They must be a member of the Catholic Church in good standing.   You will be need to be able to answer these questions about your sponsor at the time of registration.  
• You must have selected your Patron Saint.  All Confirmation Candidates need to choose a Patron Saint.  Select a Saint that you feel close to, one that you love and admire.  This will be a Saint that you will call on to be with you, pray for you, intercede for you, and to guide you throughout your life.  You can access a list of Saints and information on them here: https://www.catholiconline.school/collections You can make this decision on your own or you can talk this over with your parents, with your sponsor, or with Father Camilo if you want some guidence in this decision.  At the time of registration, you will be asked the name of your Patron Saint, and to write a brief description of why you selected this Saint.
• The Bishop requires all Confirmation candidates to write a letter to him requesting the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Type of a letter to him requesting the Sacrament of Confirmation and briefly tell him why you want to be Confirmed, what the Sacrament means to you, who your Patron Saint is and why you selected that Saint.  This letter should not be more than one page in length and needs to be formatted properly as a letter.  You can do a quick websearch for formatting examples or contact the office for help.  Have this ready to upload as a document of PDF when you register.  All letters will be reviewed by Father Camilo and he may request them to be re-written.  He will send them to the Bishop when he recommends you for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Do not try to send them to the Bishop yourself.

If you do not complete all the requirements in time to be Confirmed by the Bishop on the date he selects, or if for any reason you cannot be Confirmed on that date, Confirmation can be completed on the next date approved by the Bishop.

Once you've submitted your registration, you'll receive instructions on how to access your classes and take your final test.

Community service is not required to obtain a Sacrament of the Catholic Church.  If you wish to do community service you certainly may.  Choose something that you feel drawn to do and make sure your parents approve.  This is up to you to arrange on your own.  If you want any help or guidence from Corpus Christi, please contact the office.

ALL Catholics are required to attend Mass on ALL Holy Days of Obligation.  EVERY Sunday is a Holy Day of Obligation.  You should be attending Mass here at Corpus Christi.  We will not be making you prove that you've attended Mass, but you must take this seriously and hold yourself to this responsibility as a good Catholic and a soldier of Christ.  This is your duty to God.  Take it seriously.  It affects your eternal soul.

Come into the office or stop before or after Mass and introduce yourself to Father Camilo and tell him that you are requesting the Sacrament of Confirmation this year.  Remember, he's your Pastor and your Spiritual guide.  He's here to help you through this process.  You can also call/text/email the office for any questions or help.  My name is Lisa.  I'm here for you too.

We are currently accepting religious education registration for Grades 1-8 for the 2020-2021 school year for those not seeking a Sacrament at this time.

Please register using this link: https://forms.gle/ZgT2yFBzQD99fpuk9

You will be emailed with directions for your child to complete their religious education online.

All religious education is online this year.  There is no set schedule.  Access your classes anytime from anywhere and complete them at your own pace.  Parent involvement is always encouraged.

Please make sure your child is praying the Rosary.  Directions can be printed off our website or you can come in the office for directions and a Rosary for your child.

There is no cost for registration.

Father Camilo is encouraging all parents to read the St. Joseph's Catechism with their kids.  If you'd like a copy of this, please contact the office.

Please start by contacting the office.  We'll send you a link to a Baptism Registration form.

In the next section you'll find instructions for completing your Baptism Class.

Baptisms can be scheduled anytime except during Advent and Lent.   If this is an emergency situation, please call or text the office immediately.

Father Camilo encourages everyone to have their Baptism at any regularly scheduled Mass.  It is in your child’s best interest to have their Baptism in the presence of the rest of their Catholic community.  Background for this: in simple terms-there’s more strength when people gather to pray.  By gathering the entire community to pray and renew our own Baptismal vows for your child’s Baptism, we’re heaping lots of strength and grace into that particular Sacrament.

If you still want a private Baptism for your child, please contact the office to schedule it.  These are scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at either 10am or 1pm.

If you are registered in another Parish and want to have your Baptism here, we will need a letter from your Pastor giving us permission to celebrate the Sacrament.
