The Sacrament of Confirmation
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation is normally received at the end of the 10th grade year following a two-year preparation program offered during the 9th and 10th grade Faith Formation classes. The program includes speakers who invite the youth to meet Christ, retreats (Quest, TEC and NET), mission outreach (Feed My Starving Children, Magnifying Abilities, various nursing homes and others), small group sharing time and field trips.
The Sacrament of Confirmation in 2019 will be celebrated on Sunday, April 28th at 2:00pm at the Cathedral of Saint Paul.
Class Schedule: 9th & 10th graders meet on Wednesday evenings in Archangels Hall (below the church). Occasionally classes are combined for a speaker or special event. Normal session times are:
9th Grade 6:00 – 7:15 p.m.
10th Grade 7:45 – 9:00 p.m.-
Curriculum: Our program is speaker based with table groups consisting of five or six teens at a table with two table leaders.
Volunteer as a Small Group Leader
Volunteers are needed to be small group table leaders. Table groups consist of five or six teens and one or two table leaders during Wednesday evening classes.
Training is provided. 11th and 12th graders are encouraged to stay with the program as small group leaders. For more information, or if you would like to sign up to be a table leader, see the director contact information below.Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation for Adults

The Sacrament of ConfirmationBaptism, the Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.
