Confirmation is a new beginning in our faith journey, not an end to an era of Religious Education. Confirmation preparation is open to all teens in 10th grade and older who participated the previous year in our youth group, and/or Catholic school. Our Confirmation program is designed to teach teens about the community aspect of being a Catholic, to understand their commitment as a Confirmed Christian, and to help them to make an informed decision about their readiness for Confirmation. As a result of Confirmation preparation, teens should be on the road to understanding their faith. 2 retreats, 12 classes, liturgical ministry, group service projects, and an interview with the pastor are all a part of this program.
