Confirmation is an ongoing process whereby youth (9thgrade or older) can discover what it means to become more fully a member of the Catholic Church into which they have been initiated. Confirmation preparation is a two-year process. During the preparation process youth are required to attend CCE classes (maximum of 3 absences), attend Confirmation formation classes, perform specific hours of service hours per year, attend two retreats, write a saint report, complete homework assignments, and pass a written test and an interview.
A $25 fee will be charged to cover the textbook and supplies (total for both year I & II). A $50 fee will be charged for each retreat to cover meals and lodging.
Adult Confirmation: This confirmation process is offered to baptized adults (18 years or older) who received First Communion but did not complete their initiation in the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. There are six formation classes with the sacrament to be celebrated at either a church with other adults on Pentecost Sunday or with our youth confirmation celebration. Adults must call the parish office in the fall for an interview and registration. A baptismal record from the church of baptism must be submitted at time of registration. Adult Confirmation Classes are offered during the spring of each year.
