Fiat is a Latin word meaning, “let it be done.” Catholics use this word referring to Mary’s “yes” to God at the Annunciation.
“Let it be done unto me, according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)
Like the Blessed Mother, we have opportunities in our own lives to say “yes” to God. For our Confirmation program, a Fiat is a way you want to say “yes” to Him, in your personal relationship with Him. Maybe you want to serve others, pray a certain way, participate in parish activities, or support pro-life activities. You’ll find a list of suggestions below. Simply remember these rules:
Please note that there are MANY outside organizations in the St. Louis area that need volunteers. These can provide great opportunities to complete FIATs.
If you have a question about what might be considered a FIAT, contact Miss Stringer at stringerv@assumptionstl.org.
Don’t forget to submit your FIAT report by the end of every month!
