Confirmation

 

Confirmation brings a young man or woman into the full and complete Life of Christ and the Catholic Church. As the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are activated in their hearts and souls, they are prepared to give themselves fully and completely as committed Catholic Christians. Confirmation Preparation engages not only the young Catholic student, but also his or her parents, family, as well as the chosen sponsor.

 

For youth in grades 7-9, preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation takes place at the parish.

 

For 2025-2026 the Confirmation Preparation Program will run October 2025 – March 2026.

 

Confirmandi will have the option of regularly attending either a Tuesday evening (6-7pm) or a Saturday afternoon (1-2pm) class.

​

Parents must attend one of the mandatory Parent Information and Registration sessions which will be held in the parish hall on:

 

• Thursday September 25th at 7:30pm
