Confirmation is a two-year process that typically starts in ninth grade. Naturally, it is expected that every Candidate is attending Mass each week and living their faith.
Each Candidate is required to choose a Sponsor. The Sponsor is expected to be a practicing Catholic. The Sponsor should be chosen by the Candidate. They should be local as there are meetings that they must attend with the Candidate. The Sponsor may not be their parent.
Each Candidate must attend a Weekend Retreat during the second year of the process. We will only provide one retreat this year and the date will be listed on the yearly calendar.
Each candidate is expected to contribute 15 hours of Christian Service each year of the process. We ask that they perform this service outside of their own home and family (in addition to what we do as family). We provide a number of service opportunities in each year to help the Candidates in fulfilling that responsibility.
The Candidates are expected to attend all of the classes during each Year. They are allowed to miss two classes. Should a candidate miss a third class it will be determined case by case if they are able to continue with the program.
We ask all parents to pray for our program and especially our Teens.
