| CONFIRMATION 2024: SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH AT ST. CLARE
Time: 2 PM. Confirmation begins promptly. Don't be late.
Seating: Candidate and sponsor will sit together in a designated area. Be sure to attend the rehearsal for details.
Name tags: Upon arrival, use the name tag printed out for you. This will have your confirmation/Saint name on it. Wear it where we can see it. Do not cover it with your hair or wear it close to your chest.
Dress-code: Your Sunday best as we are in the house of God.
Ladies: Dresses, skirts or pantsuits are ideal. Modesty is of great value when deciding on the length of your dress or skirt. Any color is perfect, but note white and red are symbols of the Holy Spirit.
Gentlemen: The word formal comes to mind when deciding on your attire, but this doesn't require wearing a suit. When selecting a shirt, make sure it's buttoned down and really consider saying yes to the tie. No jeans or tee shirts please.
If you can not attend the April 7th Confirmation at St. Clare, contact Maureen and she will help you locate another parish. CONFIRMATION DATES

FAQ'S
Q: How long is the Confirmation Mass? Approximately 2 hours.
Q: Can we take photos? No flash photography please! Be discreet and quick.
Q: What if my sponsor can't make it? You don't need to search for another sponsor, just have a parent, or older sibling or friend of the family stand in for your sponsor.
Q: What if I change my mind about my Confirmation/Saint name and want to use a different name? The name you choose is completely your choice, so whatever you use, make sure it is written on your name tag and Maureen is informed of the change before confirmation. Most likely the bishop will have the candidate wear a name tag with the name they chose. Please wear it where the bishop can see it. Pull your hair back if necessary, and wear it in front, just below your shoulder.
Q: What if I'm sick and can't make it? We will postpone your Confirmation to take place at one of our future regular Masses.
Q: What if I'm late? Don't be late, but don't rush either. Just plan to arrive early, so you are calm and ready.
Q: What if I have to go to the bathroom during Mass? Discreetly dismiss yourself and go. We will save your place.
Q: Should I leave my phone at home? Only if you are tempted to check your texts and social media posts while in the House of God.
