Registration for Confirmation 2026 Fall Session is open!
Final High School Confirmation Prep Course!
Confirmation is the final Sacrament in the Rite of Christian Initiation. This course prepares high school students for this Sacrament, nurturing their faith through lectures, activities, and discussions with instructors, peers, parents, and sponsors.
The course consists of four in-person classes and a retreat. The course will begin in September and conclude in October. The Confirmation Mass will be on November 20 at 5:30 pm.
A commitment to the candidate’s formation and class attendance is expected. Candidates are authorized 1 absence for the course. If this commitment cannot be made, please consider shifting to Family Faith Formation and participating in our new primary Confirmation Prep course.
Sponsors are required to receive the sacrament and must be identified at registration. Candidates who need help finding a sponsor can select that option on the registration form.
This course is for candidates currently in grades 9-12. Candidates in grades 4-8 should register in Family Faith Formation for the 2026-2027 school year.
If prospective candidates are not in these grades, DO NOT register!
