REGISTRATION FOR FAITH FORMATION
          The schedule for Faith Formation 22-23 is on the Sacred Heart website: sacredheartpinehurst.org. Registration forms are also on the web. We have designed our Faith Formation Calendar to work with the Moore County Schools schedule. Registration forms are also on the Welcome Desk. There is a form for new students and one for continuing students.
          Classes will be after the 8:00 am Mass on Sunday from 9:15-10:30 am. The exception is for the Confirmation Class which meets from 9:15-10:15 am.  Classes begin on Sunday, September 11^th, and Confirmation classes begin on Sunday, September 18^th.
          This summer, Bishop Luis R. Zarama, Bishop of Raleigh sent a letter to the Pastors of our Diocese stating that the Sacrament of Confirmation will occur while the child is in high school. He allowed pastors to continue with confirming eighth graders for this coming year as they are already in preparation.  Father John Forbes has agreed to this plan. Bishop Zarama will confirm our current eighth graders on Thursday, May 11, 2022, at 6:30 pm, here at Sacred Heart. Father Forbes has included the children at Pope John Paul School in this class.
          There will be a required meeting of all parents who are asking that their children receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in Founders Hall on September 14^th, 2022, at 7:00 pm. This meeting does not apply to parents of candidates who are attending Pope John Paul School. (They do their own prep work.) A parent unable to make this meeting MUST schedule an individual meeting with the Director of Faith Formation prior to the start of the 9/25/22 start date. This can be done by emailing carolyn.gale@sacredheartpinehurst.org. The student will be considered a candidate for Confirmation when the parent has attended a prep meeting.

We are in urgent need of co-teachers for Faith Formation. If you are interested in being a co-teacher or assistant, please let me know. All persons acting in these roles will need to complete the Diocesan Safe Environment training. Deacon Guy Berry conducts these on a regular basis and the class can be completed online if requested.
To the Community of Sacred Heart: Please pray for the children as they continue their Faith Journey.
