 Our 3-year Confirmation program meets every Sunday from 6:15-8PM.  We feed the students a light dinner and ask each family to bring food for 10 or so people with your child's class about every other month.
After our opening and dinner, everyone will head to class. Class time is a little over an hour.

Class Topics/Themes
Our topic for 1st year is Theology of the Body, for the 2nd year its Church History Apologetics and Chosen for your final year of preparation with a choice between weekly classes or service on a weekly basis and monthly meetings for the final year only. Before Confirmation, we provide ministry training.
In addition to regular class attendance (no more than 6 absences a year), you will need to begin the first year of preparation with a sponsor who must attend a workshop every year with their youth. The retreat last 3 hours on a Saturday. They need to do 30 hours of service work at the Church or 10 hours of community service.
Retreat fees are included in the registration fee. This Diocese requires a retreat during the final year of Confirmation. This year's retreat dates will be announced after program starts.  EVERYONE MUST ATTEND-NO EXCEPTIONS. It is Monsignor's wish that everyone in 1st and 2nd year also attend a retreat.  Retreat dates and options will be announced after program starts.
