Confirmation Year 2

---

The following are the requirements of year two of the Confirmation program:

Candidates, Sponsors and Families will be prepared spiritually, catechetically, theologically and pastorally to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. The process utilizes a variety of settings, gatherings and events to deepen the Candidate’s faith commitment, clarify the understanding of full initiation, and evangelize. This means everything is important, particularly attendance. The schedule is spread out and does accommodate holidays, and school calendars to the best of our ability.
