Confirmation Program
Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace
Info, Schedule, Registration Forms for 2024-2025
For those who missed our All-Parent meeting for Catechism, First Communion, and Confirmation classes this year or for a quick summary:
We are running our programs in two semesters, fall and spring, each being two months a piece. Confirmation will only consist of one "semester" and will finish in the fall. There will, however, be a "post-confirmation" group started in the spring.
Please see below the main points about our programs this year:
Family Catechism (CCD)
Every Sunday (for 2 months): 8:30am-10:00am in the Hall
1st-7th grades
At least one parent (guardian) in class
Start with breakfast cooked by KCs
Then, big group class
Then, break out = kids with catechists, parents with me
Confirmation
