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: $70 ($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 Classes
There will be 13 sessions from September-April where candidates will learn, discuss, and pray together.
Confirmation Retreat
March 11, 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. at James Island County Park, Edisto Hall.
Estimated Cost: $100
The retreat is an essential component of our Confirmation Preparation. If this date does not work, the Jr. High Rally or the EDGE Winter Retreat may be used as an alternative.
Involvement in EDGE
Every 6-8th grade student is also invited to participate in all EDGE programming. This is the best way to form Christ-centered friendships and find the extra support needed to live their faith.
