For those of you who are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday, March 29, 2011, you need to complete an interview with one of the priests of OUR parish - Fr. Jim, Fr. Jose, Fr. Paul, Fr. Molina, or Fr. Pedro. Your interview is not a test. It is an additional opportunity for you to dialogue on your faith growth and readiness for Confirmation. All interviews are conducted in a safe and appropriate environment.
It is YOUR responsibility to call and make an appointment with one of our priests. Remember, there are 58 teens being Confirmed in the Faith and only 5 priests. PLEASE schedule early. Be considerate of others and DO NOT wait until the week prior.
The St. Thomas Office phone # is 770-432-8579.
Fr. Jim's extension is 108.
Fr. Jose's extension is 128.
Fr. Paul's extension is 193.
Fr. Jaime's extension is 121.
Fr. Pedro's extension is 196.
Tuesday Apostles have from Nov 30th until Jan 18th to complete their interview.
NO Interview = NO Sacrament of Confirmation
Some sample interview questions:
- How do you (personally) pray, and how often?
- Why do you want to be confirmed?
