When we give ourselves to others in loving service, we live out our catholic christian faith.
Requiring service as part of Confirmation preparation is less about checking a box and more about living lives of service, recognizing Jesus in all persons and creation.
Service is a requirement during the preparation for Confirmation in the Diocese of Memphis. Over the past several years we have transitioned away from requiring a set number of service hours, to a number of service encounters. These encounters help us practice the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and move toward being active participants in the parish community.
