We apologize to you who did not get an answer about Confirmation questions sooner.
If you haven't already, you will be getting an email outlining any outstanding/remaining requirements that will need to be completed prior to attending the Mass.
We are excited to proceed with Confirming our wonderful candidates and bringing them in as fully initiated members of the Catholic Church!
In Christ,

If you haven't already done it,
you still have time to complete your
Letters To The Bishop
(okay, maybe to Father Andy)!!
Writing a letter to the bishop who will celebrate the Mass is important to the candidate's request to be confirmed and you'll want this step completed well in advance of any projected ceremonial date. If you need a little push to get started, the link below gives a (somewhat generic) guideline containing instructions and a template to give you some ideas of what your letter should say. Take some time and be thoughtful about what you write - let Archbishop Lori see who you are! For quality assurance, we have been asked to read the letter at Holy Family first... and then pass on all the candidates' letters to the bishop together.
And yes, Archbishop Lori will read them also.
We don't mention this to intimidate you!
We want you to successfully acknowledge your audience,
The Most Reverend Archbishop Lori
Letters should be submitted by email to youthministry@hfccmail.org or by USPS to Holy Family Catholic Church.

Confirmation completes our baptism, and makes us full members of the Church, committed to being witnesses to Christ in the world.
Confirmation of Young People. Young people are normally confirmed during their Freshman year of high school - or later. Candidates will be expected to take part in a preparation course organized by the parish's Youth Ministry Team. Extenuating circumstances aside (COVID-19 anyone?), the Bishop usually carries the Confirmation in the parish.
2020-2021 CONFIRMATION REGISTRATION COMING SOON! All incoming 9th graders are invited to register for Confirmation Preparation this year. We will have signups coming soon once we know how the classes will be conducted due to the current COVID-19 protocols and restrictions.
(All incoming 8th grade students who wish to be Confirmed next year should enroll in Faith Formation for their 8th grade year unless they attend a Catholic school. You can email resecy@hfccmail.org for more information.)
Confirmation of Adults. If you were baptized and received your First Communion, but were never Confirmed, please contact Fr. Andy Aaron for information on RCIA at aaaron@archbalt.org.
