· First day of Class

The Confirmation Program is a two year program for students who are at least 14 years old and freshman in high school. All Confirmation classes will begin in September, with an Open House on the first day of class.

 

Our two-year program holds class days on alternating Sundays therefore, classes and Mass will meet every other Sunday throughout the year. This will give you and your family the opportunity to attend other preferred masses every other Sunday! This plan also provides the children/youth the required minimum 30 hours of catechetical instruction yearly. A program calendar is available on our website.

Parents of children/youth in sacramental classes will attend Sunday adult formation meetings. Confirmation Parent Orientation will be on the first day of classes in September.

        Class Attendance

All students are required to complete 30 hours of class instruction a year.  Youth in Confirmation I classes will move up with their class provided all requirements for that level have been met. Any absences must be called in by the parent to the office and to your youth’s catechist.  Make-up work is required. More than 3 unexcused absences will result in being dropped from the program and not completing impending sacraments. 

 

       Mass Attendance

All parents & students are encouraged to celebrate the 11:30am or 5:00pm Masses. Students meet in the church and attend Mass as a class. To help our families worship together on Sundays, families with more than one child in the program may choose the class to sit with at Mass and bring their other children to that class to sit together. 

 

        Tardies

Students need be on time and prepared to participate with his/her book and materials (online or in person).  In case of late arrival, stop by the office before going to class.

 

      Retreats

There are several retreats required in order to be able to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation I students must attend a one day retreat.

Confirmation II students will be required to attend a three day retreat. If a student is unable to attend a retreat, they will not be able to receive the sacrament.
