Confirmation Service Project Information
There is an ancient tradition within our Church of Candidates for Confirmation preparing to receive the Holy Spirit by dedicating themselves to Christian Service for others. Confirmation Students are asked to be willing to extend themselves on behalf of others in obedience to Jesus’ teaching: “I assure you, as often as you did it for one of my least brothers, you did it for me.” (Matthew 25:35-40)
​
EACH CANDIDATE IS REQUIRED TO PERFORM 4 PROJECTS OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE:
-
2 projects during 7th grade year (each project is at least a 2 hour commitment)
-
2 projects during 8th grade year (one of these 8th grade projects is to be done with sponsor if at all possible)
ALL CONFIRMATION PROJECTS ARE TO BE CHOSEN FROM THE LIST BELOW:
-
SPS students may do service projects around the school, which are not on this list, as long as they get the signature of a teacher or principal.
SERVICE PROJECT FORMS:
-
Click FORMS button to describe your projects. Please give all info requested. Forms due a month before CONFIRMATION.

CONFIRMATION SERVICE PROJECTS 2020-2021
​
ST. PETER’S ST. VINCENT DePAUL PANTRY DAYS– volunteers help Mrs. Pascale pack up food boxes, carry them out to the cars and interact with the families who receive the food donations. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, you’ll be carrying turkeys and gifts. The pantry is located in the Convent building. The dates are first come first served-four slots are open for each date. The time is 10-12 am, Saturday mornings.
Note: Volunteers are asked to collect coffee and laundry detergent to bring to your pantry day. These two items are highly requested but are rarely donated. Only collect these items from people you know and trust. Please do not go door-to-door to solicit these items.
