Confirmation Preparation

Confirmation Preparation (Youth)

Confirmation at SS. Peter & Paul Church is a two-year process "typically" beginning in 7th grade, although students 8th grade through 11th grade who are not yet confirmed can enroll and begin the two year preparation process.  Classes begin in September and run through April/May.  Students need to have been baptized and received First Communion. 

About our Confirmation Preparation Program/Process

To help provide a consistent sacramental formation program that shares materials and expectations from our Bishop, our Confirmation preparation is a two year program.  This will ensure a specific timeframe in which our teens will be challenged and inspired to reflect on their faith commitment with a coordinated program of formation.

Formation for confirmation includes:

• Faithful participation at weekend Mass;
• Faithful attendance and active participation in Youth & Family Faith in both Year 1 and Year 2
• Faithful attendance and active participation in additional Confirmation Preparation sessions by both candidate and parent in Year 2
• Confirmation Retreat in Year 2 (candidate only)
• Service Experience/Service Activity
• Confirmation Name Reflection
• Sponsor/Candidate Faith Sharing Interview
