Students who are in the tenth grade or above, who have been baptized Roman Catholic and who have participated in at least one year of religious education during the previous year may prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.

Students in sixth thru twelfth grade, and with at least one year participation, may also prepare for the sacraments of First Penance and First Eucharist if needed.

Confirmation preparation is done within the context of the Sunday Youth Group. All candidates should be enrolled in the Sunday Youth Group. If you have questions, please contact the Youth Coordinator. Youth who are eligible may enroll for Confirmation preparation during Youth Ministry registration.

Parents and sponsors participate along with the candidate in the preparation process. Workshops are provided which will provide parents and sponsors with theological information, spiritual renewal, and catechetical directives.

It is expected that every family involved in preparation for any of the Sacraments are actively participating in Sunday Liturgy. Individual readiness for the reception of sacraments will be determined by the pastor, the youth, the parents, and the Youth Coordinator.

The celebration of First Penance and Eucharist will be scheduled during the Easter Season. Confirmation will celebrated during a separate Confirmation liturgy during Easter.
