8.8.2024 Confirmation rehearsal and photos
Due to the Finnish school Autumn semester already starting already on the August 8th, we need to change the time we have booked for the confirmation rehearsal. This is to make sure everyone will be able to attend. The new time is Thursday August 8th 18.30-20.30. The place remains the same (Olari church). I hope this change is not too much of an inconvenience for you. The photo session will be right after the rehearsal the same day, starting with group photo about 19.30 and personal photos will be taken after the group photo at the church. There will be more info on the photo session in our camp letter.
10.8.2024 Confirmation
