CONFIRMATION PROGRAM – Grades 11 and 12
The immediate preparation for Confirmation begins in Grade 11 and continues into the fall of Grade 12. Classes are held once a month on Sunday mornings. Sessions include Catholic doctrine, guest speakers, and/or question and answer periods. Mass is part of the class. Each candidate chooses a sponsor by the second session and works with him/her during the year until Confirmation. Specifics are sent in a letter to the parents regarding times, sponsors, and retreats.
Class Requirements
• Every student wishing to be confirmed must attend all class dates. Should you not be able to attend a class, arrangements must be made to attend additional Church services (ie Adoration or Benediction, Way of the Cross) and make up any work required.

Confirmation Preparation
During World Youth Day, Pope Benedict XVI stated,
“Dear Young People, do not be satisfied with anything less than
Truth and Love, do not be content with anything less than
Christ!” It is our hope as you continue your preparation for
Confirmation you will see more clearly Truth and Love in the
Light of Jesus Christ.
