Starting this fall, our Confirmation program will be open to those young people in eighth grade and older. If you are interested in Confirmation this year, contact the Office of Faith Formation at 267-7088, ext 242 by September 15th and leave your name, grade, and phone number. You will need to have actively participated in Faith Formation (The Edge or Lifeteen or other) during the 2008-09 school year.

Program components
There are several program components for the preparation of the sacrament of Confirmation, but here are three of the most important:

First, it is expected that the family attend Mass together regularly. The Mass experience is a significant part of the sacramental experience, and what you and your child learn during sacramental preparation will be greatly enhanced by regular participation at Mass.

Second, the child and at least one parent must attend all  preparation sessions for each sacrament. Sessions will begin in the Church.

Third, your child must be involved in an ongoing faith formation program.  This can be either through formal religion classes at a Diocesan Catholic school, or for those in 8th grade or older, in our Edge or Lifeteen programs. Children must have been actively participating in a Faith Formation program the year prior to the celebration of Confirmation.

For any questions or clarification, please call the Faith Formation Office at 267-7088, x242.
