Mrs. G's Confirmation Prep Blog

Hello kids!  Some of you may remember Fr. Tom Yehl, who was a Parochial Vicar at Holy Trinity some years ago. He's now at Blessed Sacrament parish in Alexandria.   He is a Youth Apostle priest, so I asked him to give your lesson on the Life of Christ and he very kindly agreed. **The first 45 seconds can be skipped, he's trying to get his mic/camera adjusted.**   Homework:   Life of Christ - Questions from the Video Lesson Next, today is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.   Please watch the following 10 minute video.  Then do a little research on what happened to the 3 children whom she appeared to.  Last, what other miracles occurred as signs during those 6 months that she appeared on the 13th of the month?  What did she ask of the world?  What can YOU do to respond to her message? The following is a short excerpt from notes taken during a 20th Century course Fr. VW taught a couple years ago about Our Lady of Fatima: Portug...

Prayer - Why Does it Matter?? Mysteries of the Rosary Scripture Assignment Bishop Barron's The Mass, Episode 6 Watching Guide

On March 18th, Word on Fire Digital granted a 2 month pass to all their streaming content to all my class families.  I gave them the email addresses that you used to register your child with for Religious Education.   This is how you access The Mass episodes by Bishop Barron.  You can access all the other content TOO!  Please make use of the free opportunity.  His Pivotal Players series is excellent, as is his series "Catholicism". The email granting you access may have landed in a junk folder or you may have deleted it by accident.  Please review your email from March 18th and look for the invite.

I said in the video I posted yesterday to not turn work in at the parish.   However, if that is your best or easiest option, no problem!!    I want to make this easy as possible for you guys. Most important.  Comment below and tell me HOW you are turning your homework in.  I need you to please be consistent so I know how to expect your work.  Decide with your parent which is the best option and let me know this week. Options: 1) Copy and paste into another Google Doc, type your answers in another color and then share it with me and your parent. 2) Print, write your answers out and use a scanner app on your phone to scan it and create a PDF.  You can then email it to me.   Please write legibly in pen. 3) Copy and paste into a Word document (I have a Mac, Pages is fine too), type your answers in a different color and then email it to me. 4) Turn it in at the parish using my Religious Ed mailbox.   This is in the Ministry close...
