Program Overview

The sacrament of Confirmation is a two year course. During their 9^th grade year teens will register and participate in our Youth Ministry Program CYO or Altar Server Ministry.  Confirmation sessions are held weekly on Sunday mornings from 9:00am through 10:15am.
The preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation is an important component of our catechetical and sacramental ministry. Confirmation is a gift of the Spirit which confirms our belonging to Christ in Baptism and which calls us to be witnesses of Christ's love for others. This sacrament, which provides the fullness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, is of great spiritual assistance to our youth during this time in their lives.
