Text Box: Faith Formation Margaret Stimmler, Director Faith Formation Office Contact Information: 952-935-5536 ext. 4 or mstimmler@stjohnhopkins.org . Confirmation April 12, 2008 at 10 am at the Basilica of St. Mary Some students confirmed this year on April 29th have not given Margaret their Confirmation sponsor’s name for the official records. Please do so. Thanks. Religious Education would like to include some new features next year for the Confirmation class. Margaret is looking for adults from our parish to share stories from their lives with St. John's young people. Here are samples of what she is thinking:  What was your Confirmation like? Why are you a Catholic? What would you want young people to know and love about the Catholic Faith? What are you most thankful to God for? Also Margaret is looking for parish leaders to train our high school students in the work of the parish: How to be an usher How to do a garage sale How to teach little children How to do the children's Liturgy of the Word, etc Please contact Margaret at the Parish Office to help. Thank you..

The Traveling Chalice

“Hosting the TRAVELING CHALICE kit was a good reminder for prayers for vocations and the future of the Church. . .it also helped us focus our daily prayers. . .”(notation by a family who hosted the Traveling Chalice).  Nick and Marilyn Bandaru and their family will host the kit this week.  As parishioners, we are grateful to them, and to the Phil and Huong family who led our parish in prayer for religious vocations last week.
