Confirmation Sessions
There are 8-9 Confirmation sessions (Oct – April) that are usually held on the second Wednesday of the month. Candidates are to attend the Wednesday session each month. Each session is led by a core team of dedicated Catechist. Sessions include a shared meal at 5:30pm followed by class 6:30-8pm.
Life Teen Requirement
Life Teen sessions (September – April) are typically held on the first and third Wednesday of each month. We encourage youth to maintain consistent participation in this parish-based faith formation program throughout the school year.
Confirmation Retreat Requirement
Each candidate is required to attend a retreat during the C1 and C2 year.
Sponsor Requirement
Choosing a sponsor is a part of the Confirmation process that allows the youth to pick an adult they want to be a role model for them on this journey. This is a bond that will grow as they and their sponsor meet during the Confirmation process and even after the candidate is confirmed.
Service Projects
Parish or community service projects are required. Complete a service project and 1 project of choice each year.
Project of Choice – This project can be done at any time during the year. A candidate will need to do one project of choice during each C1 and C2 year – 2 total. The project can be anything that the candidate would like to do with the support of their sponsor. If the sponsor is unable to participate in a project, then another adult including parents can fill in to help. Sponsors will be provided faith guided questions to talk about with their candidates.
Candidates must write a 1-page reflection after completing each project of choice and parish or community project describing their experience. Include date of service, where, candidate and sponsor name, who and how your time benefited someone else, how did you and your sponsor decide on this project and what you learned about yourself working on this project. Email a picture of you and your sponsor at your project with the write up to Megs.
Saint Project Requirement
C2 candidates must complete a paper on a choosen Saint.
