Rehearsal Date - date will be chosen closer to Confirmation

Confirmation Date - Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 11AM

We receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of Confirmation, offered to parish youth in 9th grade.  

Parent Meeting 1/31/21:  A virtual parent meeting was held on Sunday, January 31st.

Sponsor Meeting 4/18/21:  There will be a virtual meeting held for all sponsors on April 18th, 2021 at 1PM.  Please be sure to let your sponsor (or a parent if sponsor unavailable) know.  Info about the meeting will be emailed to all sponsors in advance.

We have listened to the concerns brought up after the initial parent meeting and Father Kirk has decided to change the program for this year.  

Rather than individual classes, either in-person or virtual, Father Kirk has chosen 6 videos of varying lengths.  Each video will have a set of questions with it – questions that will need some thought and answers that are not one-liners.  Father is preparing them himself. Information about what is required and online forms, videos, questions and retreat information are listed below.

All forms are now online as well as online payment for the sacramental prep fee.
