Confirmation MIni-Retreat - St John the Evangelist Catholic Church Jackson Michigan

As our Confirmation journey continues, we’re excited to bring together all of our candidates for their first mini-retreat this Sunday, November 16, in Star Hall at St. Mary’s (directly beneath the church).

This retreat is required for all Confirmation students — whether attending St. John School, public school, or homeschooling — and will take place from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

Lunch will be provided for all students, so come ready to share faith, food, and fellowship! 🥪


Why This Retreat Matters

This short but meaningful time together helps candidates:

  • Reflect on what it means to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

  • Grow in community with other students walking the same journey of faith.

  • Experience prayer, discussion, and reflection in a fun, supportive setting.

Our Confirmation retreats are more than just a requirement — they are a chance to encounter Christ more deeply and to strengthen the bonds of our parish family.
