Students grades 7 and above who are interested in exploring the journey to confirmation at St. Mark’s are encouraged join us beginning January 8.
Please register your students below for this exciting exploration of faith together with peers and Fellow Travelers (mentors).
Fellow Travelers: Our students need faithful adult mentors to traverse this journey alongside them. Please consider being part of this important time for our youth!
Parent Meeting: If you missed the parent meeting, see below for the parent packet that was handed out. Please also contact Pastor Karla at kelliott@stmarkscarmel.org with any questions.
Questions? Contact Pastor Karla at kelliott@stmarkscarmel.org.
Student Photo Upload
As part of the introduction on Confirmation Sunday, we’ll play a “then and now” slideshow/video of the confirmation students. Please provide a few pictures of your son/daughter as a baby or toddler for the video. Studio pictures are fine, but casual or fun pictures are even better!
