Confirmation

Youth Confirmation

Children in the third grade or older, having participated in Religious Education classes the previous year and received First Reconciliation, are invited into the Confirmation / First Eucharist preparation process.  We have returned to the Restored Order for Sacraments of Initiation so Confirmation and First Eucharist will be celebrated at one Mass.

All children participating in Confirmation Preparation must have received First Eucharist and be enrolled and participating in age appropriate Religious Education classes or Catholic School. Additional fees of $45.00 for materials and $25.00 for the retreat are required.
