There is an additional fee for children receiving sacraments. The Faith Formation Director will contact you to talk about options that suit your child.
If this is your child’s first year of Confirmation preparation, they should register for Confirmation Year 1. If they are registering for Year 2, they will receive the sacrament in the spring. There is an additional fee for Year 2.
