Confirmation

Confirmation

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is on-going after receiving First Holy Communion. The children must continue to attend Faith Formation every year. The diocese requires that teens attend two (2) years of formation prior to preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Therefore, teens who do not attend a Catholic school must enroll in Faith Formation for Children for the 6th and 7th grade year. Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation begins in September of eighth grade. We expect Confirmation to take place in May, with preparation beginning in September. We meet most Sundays from 10:05am. – 10:55am.
