Welcome, St. Angela Merici families! As we prepare for a beautiful new season of spiritual growth, we are thrilled to walk alongside your teens as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

St. Catherine of Siena once beautifully said, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” This is our deepest prayer for your children: that through Confirmation, they will discover their God-given purpose, receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and step boldly into their faith journey.

Because parents are the primary guides in a young person’s spiritual life, your involvement is absolutely vital to this process. To kick off the year, we are hosting our mandatory Confirmation Parent Meetings. We will cover everything you need to know about the upcoming program, important dates, and how we can partner together to support your teens.

For your convenience, we are offering two identical sessions. Parent(s), please plan to attend just ONE of the following meetings:

• When: Tuesday, September 8th OR Wednesday, September 9th
• Time: 7:00 PM for both dates
• Locations:
  • English Session: The Parish Hall
  • Spanish Session: The Youth Room (Salón de los Jóvenes)
• Prerequisite: All teens must be pre-registered for the program prior to the meeting. Please register at our Youth Ministry website.

If you have any questions before the meeting, our Youth Ministry team is here for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Cynthia Vargas (Director of Youth/Young Adults and Confirmation) at (562) 217-0496 or cynthia.vargas@stangelabreachurch.org, or our Administrative Assistant, Kathy Diep, at (949) 449-4488 or Kathy.diep@stangelabreachurch.org.

For more information on our parish activities, you can always visit our main site.

We are so excited to partner with you this year. Let’s get ready to watch our young church set the world on fire!
