Confirmation Guidelines including Dress Code

Hello, I am forwarding the important information below from Deacon Ray.

Confirmation is fast approaching. I hope you are getting excited.
Confirmation Practice is WED. SEPT. 17th @ 6:15 @ OLP.
Confirmation is SAT. SEPT. 20th @ the 5:30 PM Mass. We would like you at
the church @ 5 PM.

Confirmation Candidate Attire:
Stoles are not permitted

Males: No jeans, tank tops, golf shirts or shirts with wording. No tennis
shoes or sandals (I would recommend dress pants or khakis. A dress shirt
and tie) Tie is optional.

Females: No jeans, low cut tops, spaghetti string tops, or shirts with any
wording. If your dress is lowcut or backless, you may want to wear a shawl
or sweater.  Dresses should not be too short. No tennis shoes, sandals or
flip flops.

Reminder; No chewing of gum. You may want to also remind your sponsor and
other family memebers/guests as it is irreverant.
REMEMBER THIS IS A SACRAMENT YOU ARE RECEIVING IN THE CHURCH and not a
picnic or a party.

The question of having two sponsors was raised.  For the ceremony, only
one sponsor is allowed to accompany the candidate.  You can have the other
as a honored guest.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.  We want to proudly
represent our parishes when we have the honor of our bishop visiting and
conferring the Sacrament of Confirmation. Know how proud I am of you
taking the next step in your faith journey!
