  Another Option to consider...

In addition to this program there is also the RCIA, which you can learn more about by following the link.  This Adult Confirmation Program is designed for adults who have been Baptized and received First Communion, and who are participating in Sunday Mass, but somewhere along the line did not receive Confirmation.

  Is there a fee for the Confirmation Program?

Access to the sacraments is a fundamental right of all Catholics; therefore, there is no mandated fee for the program.  Costs are covered by your donations to regular collections on Sundays; however, a donation to defray the cost of the textbook would be appreciated ($14.00).

 Who do I contact for more information?

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or any other faith formation program in the parish, contact Tom Rinkoski at (352) 372.3533 or via email at tomrinkoski@yahoo.com.
