This year will be awesome as we welcome back both Catholic & Public school friends into our Confirmation community and prepare your students to receive the Sacrament in late Spring/early Summer. We want to make sure that we are all on the same page so that your student can have the best experience possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our youth ministry team to share anything you'd like us to know about your teen or with any questions/concerns.
As a reminder, your student is not eligible for "Year 2" Confirmation if they did not complete "Year 1" with us last year. The diocese requires a consecutive two-year preparation for all students (and has been our policy for the last two years). If you are coming from another parish we will need a letter indicating "Year 1" completion and a Letter of Good Standing from your Parish Pastor and Confirmation Coordinator.
WE ARE HONORED TO BE PART OF YOUR CHILD'S FAITH JOURNEY AND SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!
