"Never be afraid of loving Mary too much.  You can never love her more than Jesus did."  ~St. Maximilian Kolbe

 

What is "Daughters of Mary?"

Daughters of Mary is a group of middle school girls who are preparing for Confirmation by learning to own their faith as true daughters of the Father, and spiritual daughters of Mary and Joseph.  We are guided by the Holy Spirit, and take Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary as our models in serving the Father.  


 

How does it work?

All girls in grades 6-8 are part of small groups to grow in thefaith and prepare for Confirmation.  (See schedule below)

The small groups are led by high school Core Team members, Adult Core Team members, and a NET Catalyst team of young, college age missionaries, who will be joining us 8 times throughout the year!

Confirmation is received in 8th grade only.   Females in grades 6-7 do not do any paperwork or packets, and do not participate in the Rite of Election, the Rite of Sending, or Confirmation.
 

• If you attend Saint John School:
  •  your academic preparation for Confirmation will happen at school.

• If you attend public school or are home-schooled:
  • both your academic preparation will take place at home through monthly assignments to complete with your parents.  A special focus on discipleship, spirituality, and prayer will happen in the context of "Daughters of Mary"
  • All meetings (one Wednesday and one Sunday per month) take place during "Family Discipleship."  Confirmation parents are not required to attend Family Discipleship meetings.
