Regular Monthly Confirmations

Circular 2004-45
To:

All Parishes and Schools

In order to give opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to as many baptized

persons as possible in the Diocese, aside from days of Confirmation scheduled by each Parish or
school with the Bishop once a year -- usually before or after the Parish Fiesta or anytime near
thereto -- the following Churches have been designated as Confirmation Centers at designated
time every month starting January, 2005:
Saint Peter along Commonwealth :
Saint Agnes, Almar, Camarin
:
Our Lady of Mercy, Bayan
:

Second Saturday at 1:00 P.M.

Third Saturday at 3:00 P.M.
Fourth Saturday at 3:00 P.M.

These designated Churches will be responsible both for the Pre-Sacramental Catechesis of
the Confirmands and for the Record-Keeping and Notification of the Confirmation in the
Parochial Books. The Pre-Sacramental Catechesis is given at 3:00 P.M. of the previous Saturday.
Unless the Bishop is specifically invited for these Confirmations, the following are hereby
delegated to confirm in the name of the Bishop:
Saint Peter
:
Saint Agnes
:
Our Lady of Mercy :

Fr. Antonio E. Labiao, Jr.

Fr. Marlou V. Lemaire
Fr. Miguelito G. Lagrimas

Those to be accepted for Confirmation in those Churches come from all over the Diocese,
not only those coming from those parishes. They are not even limited only and exclusively to
those intending or preparing to be married. Those who want to be confirmed and have not yet
done so one time or other in the past may do so provided they have registered and are so
prepared properly by attending the Pre-Sacramental Catechesis.
Please announce this so all the people may know. Thank you so much for your
cooperation.
Given in the Chancery in Fairview, Quezon City, this 15th day of December, in the Year of
Our Lord, 2004.
