IMPORTANT: Students are expected to meet weekly, including off-campus Interfaith Learning Sessions, the Weekend Retreat, and the Service Project that will be scheduled with their small group. 
If necessary, there will be ways to make up missed classes with their group leaders. If students are unable to attend the majority of classes, then please contact Brandon at bsangster@st.lukes.org.
The $150 fee will help cover the cost of materials, Confirmation Retreat, snacks, and more. If you can donate to help scholarship a student in need, that would be great!
