Confirmation preparation is a 1-year process of developing a deeper understanding of the faith before receiving the sacrament of Confirmation.

Our students in the Confirmation process (level 1& 2) will complete the “Chosen” program modules by watching a short DVD, and allowing time for group discussion about prayer, scripture, and how they can put their faith into action. We encourage parents to talk with their students at home using the conversation starters sent out prior to each session. This gives parents the opportunity to know more about the module shown and what the group discussion will be allowing for open communication at home.

Sessions will be held twice a month at 10:45 AM following the 9:45 AM family Mass and before the 12:00 PM Mass. Students and parents are asked to attend Mass together before or after the lesson.  To help keep sessions running smoothly, it is imperative that children arrive on time.
 
This is an exciting program developed by some of the top youth ministers and leaders in the country and has had great success. The following guidelines are to support you, the parents, as primary witnesses of the faith.
