 CONFIRMATION I & II
(2 year program)
This
2-year program is centered on making a deeper commitment to Christ and His
Church. The young people will learn what it means to be a fully initiated
member of the Catholic Church and the responsibilities that go along with
being a disciple of Christ. The program requirements revolve around
service, catechesis, prayer, and community and church awareness. Parents
and sponsors are important partners for our young people on their journey
of faith. It is crucial that we stay actively involved in all aspects of
their preparation for Confirmation including weekly mass attendance, daily
prayer, service projects, and all other faith enhancing projects.
