Our Confirmation preparation program is a 2-year program available beginning in 7th grade. (This program is open to students 7th grade and older with students grouped by age.) The formation includes small and large group study using Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation, by Ascension Press. This program offers a nice balance of faith, fun and powerful videos featuring 14 of the top youth experts in the Church today. Students will explore the Catholic faith in a way that calls them to really live their faith. Year 2 students will also go on a Confirmation retreat.
Our Confirmation students are also involved in the St. Dominic youth group. After Confirmation, students are welcomed into the life of the parish. Opportunities include small groups, volunteering at Mass, being a Youth Leader or other parish ministries.
Only one form per family is necessary.
