Confirmation Dates are set!  Bishop Richard Malone will be celebrating Confirmation with us at St. Gregory the Great on Wednesday, May 15 and on Thursday, May 16. Each of our candidates has been assigned to one of those dates. Please see the list sent via Flocknote with assigned dates.

If you'd like to request switching to the other date or cannot make either date, contact Michael Ruszala at mruszala@stgregs.org.  If you are not on the list, you may not technically be registered for Confirmation. Click here if you have not yet completed the form online. Please know that no one is turned away because they cannot pay the fee due to financial hardship; please contact Michael Ruszala, and we'll work something out.

The Confirmation Rehearsal for ALL candidates and sponsors will be 6:30 pm Tuesday, May 7 at the church. It will run approximately 2 hours long.

Please remember to share your Confirmation date and the rehearsal date with your sponsor!

Rosary Club (FFF Grades 5-10):   Join us on Monday, March 18 at 6:15 pm – 7:00 pm in the school cafeteria!  

The students had an opportunity to learn how to make rosaries a few weeks ago during class time and now we are asking them to use what they learned to give back to others! Rosaries made by our students will be given to new parishioners, visitors of the adoration chapel, the homebound, missionaries, college students who are away from home, and more! Please bring your child early to class tomorrow if they are able to join us. We will be making rosaries in the cafeteria from 6:15 - 7:00 pm (before class). Time spent at Rosary Club can be used towards service and ministry hours.

Disciple Camp and High School Summer Program students from this past summer are welcome to join us. You can get service hours for helping us make rosaries. See you there!

Dear God, Give us the courage and strength today, to carry out your will.
May we keep an open heart and mind and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
When life presents us with challenges that consume us,
let us know that you are always present with us.

May we feel the comfort of your unconditional love.
Keep us strong and confident in all that we say and do.  Amen.
