“Confirmation ties together God’s act in Christ and our response in faith. It reminds us
of the power of the community of faith and promises the presence of the Spirit on our journey,” (OC, p. 31).

2008/2009 Confirmation Cost
The cost of confirmation is based on the lodging and meals for the two retreats and cost of the supplies for keepsakes that are
made at the retreats. We have combined all of the expenses into a total payment. There will be a registration fee and then the balance is
divided by 3 payments. You can make your payments following our payment schedule (listed below) or pay the yearly total all at once. Payments should be 1/3 of the
total balance for confirmation. If you choose to pay all at once, payment is due on the first payment deadline.
Registration Fee With Registration Form $30.00.
