Each candidate is required to write a letter to the Bishop (Evelio Menjivar), stating your desire to be confirmed. The letter is your own description of your personal faith journey so far. They are also a reflection on both you and on St.Mary's Catholic Church, so please write what is in your heart and take this endeavor seriously.
Here are some guidelines. These topics should be covered, in your own words and style.
All letters should be typed and you should check your spelling and grammar.
GREETING
Begin your letter with the greeting – Your Excellency
BODY OF LETTER
CONCLUSION
Conclude the letter and include your complete signature
There is no “right” way to write this letter. Everyone’s will be different, as each of you have had a different experience. Most importantly it should be your own work and a personal reflection of your journey.
