Sacrament of Confirmation
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
8th Grade
Confirmation preparation begins in 8th grade with either an 8th grade Faith Formation Program (Family or Traditional) or ACA Religion Class. Those preparing to receive the Sacrament must attend one Formation Event on October 18 as well as three EDGE Middle School events.
All 8th grade students, whether in a Faith Formation Program or Catholic school must attend these sessions.
**8th grade does not need to register for Confirmation. Registration is only for 9th grade.
9th Grade
We are excited to welcome families to Confirmation preparation! Our program helps teens grow in their relationship with Christ, prepare to receive the Holy Spirit in Confirmation and live as disciples who share Christ with the world.
Confirmation preparation is family-centered. One parent is required to attend all monthly sessions with the candidates. Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation begins when parents and their youth have discerned an openness to live for Jesus Christ in the world and a commitment to the preparation process, including regular Mass attendance, attendance at monthly formation sessions, active participation and a sincere desire to grow in faith.
9th grade Confirmation Preparation consists of eight monthly sessions on Sunday evening from 7:15pm-8:30pm and a one day retreat at San Pedro Spiritual Development Center in Winter Park. During the online registration process you will select one of the following dates for the retreat: December 13, 2026 or January 23, 2027. The Bishop has scheduled the date of Monday, April 26, 2027 for the Annunciation parish celebration of Confirmation.
