Confirmation
Sacramental preparation for Confirmation is comprised of a parent meeting,
four masses followed by class in church (attended by the parents, students,
and if possible, the sponsor), and a
retreat.
All families must be registered in the parish and
students in this program must also be in a regular Faith Formation
class or attend a Catholic school. Confirmation is an Initiation
Sacrament. It is important that the student is an active member of the
parish community into which he or she is being initiated. We ask that your
student have regular attendance at both Mass and Faith Formation classes for
at least one year prior to receiving the Sacrament.
Adults interested in receiving the Sacrament of
Confirmation are also invited to attend these classes. Please call Lynda
Monckton for additional information.
