Confirmation Interviews/registrations are currently closed for the 2020-2021 School year. Interviews will open at the end of May for the 2021-2022 school year.

Although we are currently not accepting more teens in our Confirmation Prep Program at this time, please consider registering your teen in our Youth Ministry Program. Participating in the program will not count at Confiramtion Prep, nor will it garenty them an interview for the following year. However, it will inhance their preperation process and help them grow in their faith, relationship with God, and help them build community with other Catholic teens at our parish.

Please read the below so you can be aware of the preperation process for teens to recieve their Sacrament of Confiramtion. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Coordinator of Youth Ministry Stephanie Gonzalez.

• Are baptized and able to renew baptismal promises.
• Are open to receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
• Have received their First Communion, are participating in the Sunday Mass and in the sacramental life of the Church. (Adults and adolescents who have not received First Communion will be catechized through the RCIA process with age appropriate catechesis.)
• Have reached 15 years of age.
• Are willing to commit to active involvement in the parish Confirmation preparation process.
• Are willing to continue to grow in faith following Confirmation and throughout their lifetime.

Our process for Confirmation is a 6 month preparation process beginning in October and going through March/April. We will prepare each individual in the following:

• The relationship of the initiation Sacraments, Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
• The meaning of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
• The signs and symbols related to the Sacrament of Confirmation.
• The Holy Spirit in our lives (Pentecost, grace, gifts from God).
• The role of the persons involved in the catechesis and celebration of the sacrament.
• The relationship between the parish community and the local Church.
• The Rite of Confirmation. 
• The responsibilities of the confirmed Catholic to be an active witness to Christ and involvement in the mission of the Church.
• The Sacrament of Penance and our call to grace.

Prior to Confirmation each family must schedule an interview to determine if Confirmation is appropriate for the youth at this time. Each interview will go through a series of questions about their faith, prayer, personal desire to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, and responsibility and willingness to go through the preparation process. Each interview is about 30-45 minutes long depending on questions.
