Confirmation
Our confirmation process is for students in 9th - 12th grade who have already made a commitment to Jesus Christ in baptism and are looking to take a step deeper into their faith. We offer different options for Confirmation preparation throughout the spring to help students discern when they are ready to receive the sacrament.
Dear Families, our 2022-2023 Confirmation registration is now open! To enroll please choose an option below.
