By the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1285)

The youth of the parish celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 10. The preparation for this celebration takes two years.

Year One (Grade 9)

The following are required for our 9th graders. They attend two meetings in the fall, one for orientation and one to sign up for a liturgical ministry. They go on a weekend retreat in December. They attend six classes on Sunday evenings from January to March. Throughout this time, they attend two parish events, they serve in their liturgical ministry of choice, they complete their assignments from class, and they volunteer at least twice at Loaves and Fishes.

Year Two (Grade 10)

The following are required for our 10th graders. They attend two meetings in the fall, one for orientation and one to sign up for a liturgical ministry. They go on an overnight retreat in December. They attend six classes on Sunday evenings from January to March. They select a Confirmation Sponsor who will attend all six classes with the candidate. Throughout this time, they attend two parish events, they serve in their liturgical ministry of choice, they read and study the Gospel of Mark with their sponsor, they complete their assignments from class, and they volunteer at least twice at Loaves and Fishes.
