Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.
The sacramental program for Confirmation is two years long and includes both the 7th and 8th grades. Parents of candidates for Confirmation should contact the parish office or email program coordinator Larry Boland. Handbooks and schedules for both the 7th and 8th grades are available for download at the Confirmation icon in the upper right corner of this page. The handbooks are your reference for all required paperwork during the year along with explanations of the responsibilities for each candidate during the program. As always we encourage you to take and read the bulletin each week as it is your primary resource for information regarding the Confirmation program.
*The class will be divided into 2 groups alphabetically.
