Confirmation Retreat

• This year's Confirmation Retreat will be a one-day retreat hosted here at St. Clare's on Saturday, April 17th from 9:00am-4:00pm. 
  • The total cost per retreatant is $30 and includes lunch, snacks, and a retreat shirt. Please drop off the completed registration form (See below) and a check made out to St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church no later than Monday, April 12th.
  • Aware that the pandemic is still ongoing, we will be taking all the necessary precautions to keep your teens safe and healthy throughout this in-person event. Temperatures will be taken at check-in and masks must be worn at all times. (Teens may only lower their mask when seated outside and actively eating. If your teen cannot abide by this, they may be asked to leave.)
  • We are still in need of volunteers for both background work and leading small groups. If you or someone you know is available to help in some capacity, please notify me. Volunteers must be 18+ and have an active Virtus Certification to assist with the retreat. 

• The previously required retreats ( AYC and 3:17 ) are no longer required. However, a retreat must be attended before the date of Confirmation.
  • If you are unable to attend the St. Clare's Confirmation Retreat and plan to attend a retreat elsewhere, please notify Madeleine Vuyk prior to registering and submit a Proof of Attendance Form (See below) upon returning. 
  • Those attending a St. Clare's retreat do not need to submit a Proof of Attendance form. Attendance will be verified at the retreat.        

Upon returning from your retreat, please submit this form either physically through the Parish Office or via virtual upload to the Confirmation Google Classroom.

PRAISE was an optional retreat for our Confirmation 2 teens. Based on the words of St. Paul in Colossians 3:17, we took a deeper look into making every moment one of praise. Teens also had an opportunity to serve the larger Houston community through compiling care packages and letters as part of an off-site service project. Thank you to everyone who dropped off donations for the St. Clare's Cares packages! This was a huge help and was so appreciated by those who received your boxes!

While this was certainly not what we expected our first PRAISE to look like, the safety of our teens is extemely important to us and we still managed to have a great time encountering Christ through this virtual experience. 

We loved getting to PRAISE with you!
