You will find the Schedule for the 2008-2009 class dates by going to Christian Formation and click on Confirmation Schedule.

 

Eleventh graders are invited to begin the final stages of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which they receive in the spring. 

The new speaker/discussion based curriculum has been developed in the hopes that the students might better understand the role of confirmation in their life and the responsibilities they take on now as a candidate and later as a full and active member of our faith community. This speaker/discussion based program will help them learn more about the Catholic faith and will challenge them to take a deep and meaningful look at their own faith life.

In order to prepare for Confirmation, the students are expected to:

·Choose a Sponsor (a practicing Catholic who is not bound by any Church penalty who the student feels close to);

·Complete 35 service hours in the three areas of family, community, and church;

·Attend a winter retreat;   retreat 001.JPG (63693 bytes)   retreat 005.jpg (41071 bytes)

·Participate in a spring interview with a Parish Staff member; and

·Write a letter to the Pastor which explains their desire to be Confirmed.
