Confirmation Preparation Expectations
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, candidates are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit by which their Baptism is completed. Since candidates are confirmed in their 10th grade year (past the age of reason) there must be a free choice on their part to respond to God's grace in this sacrament.
While God's grace in the sacraments is a free and generous gift, His grace is not irresistible - that is, it does not force itself upon us. To this end, the preparations below are designed to attune the hearts of the candidate to best receive God's grace in the sacrament. We see them as much more than hoops to jump through, and we hope you do as well.
1. ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN DAYS OF REFLECTION | Parish Hall | 1:00-3:00 PM | on the following days:
- Sunday, August 29, 2021 - CONFIRMATION KICK OFF - one parent must attend with their teen
- Sunday, November 7,2021
- Sunday, January 9, 2022
At the Days of Reflection you will dive into chapters from the text, participate in hands on activities, prayer, and other activities to help prepare you for Confirmation. These days are very important. Please put these dates on your calendar now!
(If you absolutely cannot make a Day of Reflection, please contact Kristi to find out how you can make up the material.)
2. ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN (6) ONE HOUR MENTOR SESSIONS
Each teen is included in a mentor group of about 5 students and 2 mentors from our parish community that will meet approximately 6 times between Confirmation Kick Off and their Confirmation Mass. Mentor meetings allow for more honest discussion and growth for the teens. Each mentor has completed Safe Environment training and all meetings occur in public places. In each session you will cover a chapter from the Decision Point text and how it applies to your life especially as you prepare for Confirmation.
(If your student needs a one on one mentor instead of a group due to sport schedules, their personality, extracurricular activities, etc., please contact Kristi Powers to discus your options.)

3. ATTEND (4) LIFE TEEN NIGHTS OF THE TEEN'S CHOICE
At Life Teen on Sunday nights, teens have the opportunity to engage with other high school teens of the parish, while learning about a topic of their choice. You are welcome at ALL our nights, but you must attend (4) of your choice! You can choose the topics that most interest you. You can also see what we are doing in our weekly email updates.
