Confirmation 

Confirmation Preparation: Confirmation Preparation takes places alongside Discipleship Group model. Confirmation preparation is a two-year process that usually occurs during 9th and 10th grade. In addition to participation in a Discipleship Group and living the Faith, any teen seeking Confirmation is required to also participate in Confirmation Information Meetings, select and meet with a Confirmation Sponsor, select a Confirmation Saint, complete Mass journals, go on a Confirmation Retreat (Year 1 & Year 2), write a letter of Intent (Year 1) and meet for a Confirmation Interview (Year 2). 

Parents also play a big role in the year-round preparation. Parents should spend time throughout the year asking their child what they are learning. Parents are also asked to attend two Parent & Sponsor nights each year and the Student/Parent Year 1 Confirmation retreat. By working with you and your families, we hope to create an atmosphere that is more than a classroom, but a community of Faith Formation, Discipleship, and Sacramental Preparation.

God in the Family
6 Week Small Group Study for Parents of Year 1 Confirmation Candidates
With confirmation we are on mission to spread the Faith and the truth. In order for parents to help prepare their students to receive Confirmation, it is important that they review the fundamental teachings of the Catholic faith.  This will be done in parent groups with a staff member present for at least part of the group gathering. The meetings take place once a week for six weeks starting in January. Participants are to prepare for each meeting by reading the assigned material and preparing the coordinating study questions. The two books used for the God in the Family Program are: My Catholic Morals by John Paul Thomas and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. 

Class Time: Wednesday evenings 7:15-8:30pm, during school year
