Saints Joachim and Anne
Faith Formation
“Each of you knows that the foundation of our faith is charity. Without it, our religion would crumble. We will never be truly Catholic unless we conform our entire lives to the two commandments that are the essence of the Catholic faith: to love the Lord, our God, with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
— Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassat
Below are the Mission opportunities so far for this year. Each event is worth 1 point. Every Confirmandi needs to sign up for enough events to reach a total of 10 mission points. Depending on the number of students who sign-up for each event, we will determine if we will be able to provide transportation or not. This list will be updated as opportunities arise.
Clarification:
1 Latin Mass, 1 Lifeline and 1 NET Night are mandatory and worth 1 Mission Point each. Additional Latin Masses, Lifelines or NET Nights are also worth MPs.
Mission Point Opportunities
10 Points needed during the year.
