When we are baptized, we are adopted by the Father and given the opportunity to participate in Christ’s role as Priest, Prophet, & King. Through Confirmation, God completes our Baptismal grace and deepens our call to live this three-fold mission. This is not a rite of passage or graduation from religious education. It is a sacrament of mission and power, giving Christians the strength and grace to live out the mission of Jesus Christ and His Church.

​

Confirmation preparation typically starts once a teen has started 10th grade. The sacrament is celebrated in October the following year.

Teens can register for Confirmation Preparation if they have met the following requirements:

• Have been baptized

• Will reach the age of 15 by September 1st

• Will participate in Youth Discipleship Small Groups (both Catholic and Public School Youth) during the 2023-2024 School Year

• Have attended a Catholic School or Youth Discipleship Small Group for the year prior to and including the year of preparation ​(2022-23 and 2023-24)

Registration is required by September 1. The cost is $185.​
