High School Fall Schedule
Parents, thank you for your feedback on the St. Martha Confirmation Program. We appreciate all your input. You had many great suggestions, however, the Archdiocese is currently not allowing in-person meetings outside of the sacraments. Since we do not know when that restriction will be lifted, and with needing to move forward with planning, we have decided to do an online format for Sunday evenings in the Fall Semester.
We will continue with the calendars that have been presented to you already, with the meetings most likely via Zoom. You may find the calendars at the registration links below.
We are still hoping that we will be able to have in-person meetings available for the Track A Kickoff Retreat, the Service Day, and the Track B Thursday Confirmation Prep Sessions, with an online option available for those who are uncomfortable coming in person. As you know, things are changing all the time, and we will give you more information as we come closer to those events.
We will re-assess the situation in November/December, with the hope that we could potentially open up some in-person meetings on Sunday evenings for those comfortable attending in the Spring.
If you have not yet registered, please go to:
http://stmartha.com/life-teen to register for Track A (1st year)
http://stmartha.com/confirmation to register for Track B (2nd year)
The Archdiocese proposes that catechesis is best done in relationship with your parish community, and we hope to provide that community as best as possible with our online program. However, we understand that in these difficult times, many people have varied situations. If you have specific questions about your situation, or would prefer a homeschool option, please contact:
mikel@stmartha.com for Track A
salisham@stmartha.com for Track B
We are still in need of catechists for this coming year. If you want to have a lasting positive impact in the lives of your teens and their peers, please fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/qXugjRzAQEie5NsY7
Many of you expressed interest in a Small Group for parents for encouragement, best practices, prayer, etc. If you are interested in this, please fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/qXugjRzAQEie5NsY7
The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!

Confirmation Prep at St. Martha is in two stages:
1. Life Teen Track A (on-going high school catechesis), followed by
2. Confirmation Sacrament Prep (on-going high school catechesis, sacrament prep, and Confirmation)
Confirmation preparation is a two-year process. A student must complete one year of on-going high school catechesis prior to registering for Confirmation Sacrament Preparation. This is accomplished by registering for and completing Life Teen Track A.

“Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit - his action, his gifts, and his bidding - in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of the confirmands.” [CCC #1309]
