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. In addition to an 8th grade Parish Catechesis Program (Family or Traditional) or ACA Religion Class, those preparing to receive the Sacrament must attend two Formation Events. One in the Fall and one in the Spring. The events will take place after the 5:30pm Sunday Mass in the Nazareth Center. Dinner will be provided.
The dates for the two sessions: October 5, 2025 and March 1, 2026.
All 8th grade students, whether in Traditional Faith Formation or Parochial school must attend these sessions.
**8th grade does not need to register for Confirmation. Registration is only for 9th grade.
9th Grade
9th grade Confirmation Prep consists of a day retreat and monthly sessions. Due to the size of our Confirmation class the group split into two sessions. Upon registration, families can choose between a Sunday afternoon session or a Sunday evening session. The afternoon session follows the 12 noon Mass and dismisses at 2:45pm The evening sessions follows the 5:30pm Mass on Sundays and dismisses at 8:15pm. Meals will be provided. Confirmation candidates must participate in a Confirmation Retreat.
