Program Overview:

9th Graders continue their faith formation receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation candidates follow a model of Youth doing Ministry where we encourage students to volunteer in service projects. The Candidates participate in a retreat;  Living the Stations of the Cross on Palm Sunday. Prior to celebrating the sacrament, the candidates participate in a Holy Hour including an opportunity for one-on-one with a confessor for the sacrament of Penance prior to Confirmation.

Prerequisite: Teen has to have completed one year of the Gateway program (formerly 7/8th grade program) as an 8th grader before registering for the Confirmation program.
