Dear Parents,

As you know, our Confirmation Retreat Day is scheduled for Saturday, November 4th, at La Casa de Maria Retreat Center, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM.  Our confirmation team of Albert Sousa, Tina Da Ros, Dorinda Macias, Oscar Loretto, Jennie Nelson, Emmett Haggard, and Shannon Hickey will guide us through the day.

It is important that your son/daughter participate in our day of prayer.  Our previous retreats have been enriching experiences.  I am sure your son or daughter will appreciate their time together at La Casa de Maria and enjoy the day.  If it is impossible to join us, please call me at 969-4868 by October 26th.

Please send a $25.00 fee to help defray the cost of the day along with your child's permission slip and the emergency form to the Religious Education Office by October 26th.  If you are unable to contribute this amount, do not hesitate to call me.  It is important that your child participate in the Retreat.

I have included the directions to La Casa de Maria, the permission form and the emergency forms in this mailing.  Please tell your son or daughter to arrive at the Retreat Center no later than 9:25 AM.

If you have any questions concerning the Retreat, please do not hesitate to call me at 969-4868.

Sincerely,

Sister Kathleen Patrice
