Confirmation PRep - Year 2
Objective
The Sacrament of Confirmation is a very bold and courageous decision where one commits to living as a witness of Jesus Christ. Even more so, it is an acceptance of God's sanctifying work in our lives that fulfills our deepest human desires. Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation is a movement of grace in one's soul that binds them more perfectly to the heart of God.
Our goal is for each Candidate to experience a deep conversion that allows them to be open and receptive to the gifts and promptings of the Holy Spirit in their life. After receiving the Sacrament, each Candidate is called to a life of discipleship as an active member of our parish community.
Cost: $85 ($45 for Catholic School students)
*Retreat fee is not included in registration cost.
*All candidates are required to have one year of faith formation prior to enrolling for Year 2 Confirmation. If a student is in 8th grade but has not completed their first year, please register for Pre-Confirmation Prep Year 1

Confirmation Retreat

March 24 - Submit Personal Testimony
- As written in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, every candidate preparing for Confirmation is asked to profess the Faith. This is completed during the Rite of Confirmation by the renewal of our Baptism Promises. To help make this moment of the Rite more intentional and meaningful, each candidate will be asked to write and present a personal testimony about their own relationship with Christ and the Church.
