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.
 
Expectations:

1. A clear understanding that all requirements are mandatory and must be completed by the candidate and supported by family.
2. An authentic willingness to participate and strengthen your faith.

If, after reviewing the requirements, you see any potential conflicts, it is your (the candidate, supported by parent,) responsibility to express the concerns to the youth minister immediately. Issues will be addressed on a case by case basis. Expressing your concerns AFTER the event or requirement due date will not serve you well.  Thank you for understanding.
