Confirmation Class

The Confirmation Class started last evening, for folks to be confirmed or received into the church. The members are all older than my class of eleven-year-olds, way back when (that church was also much larger). I probably would have gone to sit in if I had not been home feeling a bit ill.

Fr. McGrath had a practice I liked, one that worked well for the size of our classes: each session of the class was sponsored by a different parish family. The family would make the light supper (or was it lunch?) for the class, and join in the meal and the session following. Especially when we were receiving new members, it was a good opportunity for them to get to know a few of our families.

I will be away for the next two. After that, we'll see.
