In-Class Service Nights
Service Nights occur throughout the two years of preparation in conjunction with regular faith formation classes. Each small group will participate in activities spread throughout the Confirmation Preparation Process (four in year I, two in year II).
During the Service Night, candidates will:
Service Nights allow candidates to live out their baptismal call by sharing their time and gifts with the people of God. In the Gospel of Matthew (Mt. 25:31-46), Jesus gives us practical (and specific) instructions on how we should serve the needs of others and God at the same time. We want candidates to recognize that this is the mission of the Church (as well as their mission) and to give them a chance to experience it first-hand.
Group Service Nights may be planned by the Director of Confirmation, the catechist, or the small group itself. Some nights will take place at the church, while others will occur at the local agency. When at a local agency, all candidates will report directly to the agency, rather than going to church for that evening. Attendance will be taken and reported to the faith formation site by 7:15 pm.
During the Service Night, candidates will:
- Learn about the agency/service project.
- Participate in the service experience.
- Reflect on the experience.
