Confirmation (Grades 9-12)

Congratulations and welcome to Confirmation! Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a two-year journey. This process typically begins in 9th grade; however, students have until their senior year in high school, so we encourage them to journey at their own pace. Our hope and desire for our students is to encounter Jesus and learn more about their faith and the Church’s teachings. We can't wait to journey with your student!
