- The name of your Sponsor
- Your Sponsor’s Confirmation record, to show that he or she is a Catholic in good standing with the Church
- The name of your chosen Patron Saint
- If you were baptized in another Christian denomination, we will need your Baptism record from them. (Instead of baptizing you again, you will make a Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church.)

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
General Expectations:
You are expected to attend every Thursday until you have completed this course. (If you are ill, or if you have a conflict in schedule, you are responsible to make arrangements for a make-up session.)
It is expected that you will arrive on time and stay until the end of the class. (Class time is 7 – 9 pm, with a break)
Arriving late: If you are unavoidably late, take a seat and listen quietly until there is a break, and then at that time, you will be welcomed and given today’s lesson handouts.
We will all keep our cell phones and other devices turned off during class time, unless they are needed for a class activity.
