In our parish, preparation to receive the sacrament of confirmation is a two-year process, during which participants have the opportunity to learn more about their Catholic faith and how to serve God as an active disciple of Jesus Christ. We provide the time and space away from distractions to allow our confirmation candidates to be alone with God, to grow in their personal relationship with God, and to develop an understanding of their place within a faith community. 
During their high school years, teens begin to see the world in new ways as they move beyond thinking mainly of themselves to developing a deep concern and care for others.  This is the Holy Spirit working within. During preparation for confirmation, candidates realize that the Holy Spirit, which resides in each of us, is indeed ready for action and service to the world. We encourage you to be open to the process and say “Yes!” to God’s gift of the sacrament of confirmation.
We look forward to your participation in this special time of spiritual formation for the youth of our parish. Confirmation preparation involves learning, sharing, serving, fellowship, spiritual growth, and fun!

THE PROCESS

Teen Confirmation sessions begin in October and conclude in May. The process is conducted in compliance with Archdiocese guidelines for the protection of youth and adults. The 2022-2023 Sessions will take place in-person at the Parish Hall, depending on coronavirus pandemic guidelines from local public health authorities and the Archdiocese.
