Confirmation Prep (Starting in 7th Grade)
Registration for Year 1 and Year 2
This program is a two-year in-person program designed for students who wish to partake in the Sacrament of Confirmation. As we walk together through this program, I hope that students will develop a deeper understanding of the love that God has for them and how He demonstrates this love to us through the gift of the Holy Spirit and using the gifts that He has given to each of us. We will foster in our students a more enriched relationship with Jesus, teaching them how to discern the still, small voice of the Spirit within them and welcoming Him, not as a stranger, but as a trusted guide at the time of their Confirmation.
Throughout the program, students will spend time participating in large group activities and lectures (based upon the book, Decision Point, by Matthew Kelly, the Chosen series by Ascension Press, and other assorted materials from Dynamic Catholic), prayer services, small-group discussions, a confirmation retreat and learn the value of service through service projects and service retreat days.
Please see the schedules below for more information on days and times.
Students must complete Year 1 before registering for Year 2
