Confirmation Preparation

Sundays after 10AM Mass

Our confirmation preparation for 2025-2026 will look different this year. As our parish prepares to make the Diocesan Mandated change which will bring Confirmation to the 5th grade, we are transforming our Confirmation Preparation to better accommodate the transition. Our Confirmation Candidates will attend 6-7 preparation sessions on Sundays after our 10AM Mass. Parents and Sponsors will be encouraged to join them. We will also be offering our Confirmation retreat the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. In order to receive the fullest preparation possible, we would like our candidates to attend our Wednesday evening religious education as well!
