Confirmation 1st year and 2nd year
REGISTRATION IS OPEN (2022-2023 Year)
Use the link below to register for the upcoming year.
For the 2021-2022 calendar year, the confirmation program is operating on a "flex schedule". Students and parents will be able to choose their classes from the dates and times that are offered by the Confirmation Faith Mentors. Then students will attend the classes that they chose based on their own personal, sport, school, and family schedule.
This method will give students and families a few more options to be able to attend and get the most out of the confirmation topics and sessions being offered. -

Service Hours and Project (High School)
Each student will be required to complete 10 hours of service. See the service requirement in the student handbook to see what is acceptable as service.
Service Project
Service will be done at home or as a family. More information will be given to students at class and sent home in the newsletter. Service can be done anywhere outside the home where the student volunteers to work, and does not receive any sort of payment for their time. If a student has to complete service for another organization such as school or scouts, etc. That time is also acceptable for the confirmation program.
Throughout their time in our youth program, students will share their time with our parish, the Catholic Church, and the community itself. This service remindes us that we are the hands and feet of Christ in the world. When you serve, you are taking part in a lifelong, Catholic tradition of sharing your time and talents with others. As Jesus said, “For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).
Accumulation of Hours:- 7th Grade: 5 hours
- 8th Grade: 5 hours
- 9th Grade: 10 hours
- 10th Grade: 10 hours
- Total: 30 hours and 2 class projects served over four years
