Religious Education Confirmation Preparation Program

confirmationprep.jpgWe hope to be able to include all students who enter our program for reception of the Sacrament. Parents are expected to give active parental support and interest to our program, which includes prompt and consistent attendance at class on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:15 PM.

Students in our Confirmation Preparation Program are admitted, for class, to the first floor Gym Room through the school entrance on 245th Street and exit from the same at 8:15 PM.

Upon release from the school, parents are responsible for arrangements of student's return home.

Our Confirmation Preparation program is challenging because the Sacrament of Confirmation involves a serious commitment to know and live the faith, to be able to explain it with knowledge and conviction. Anyone who is not willing to make such a commitment may not be ready for the commitment.

Students gather in one group for a welcome and attendance. They are then separated into two groups. One remains in the gym room for study sessions. The other proceeds to the youth room for LAB “Learning About Being”. During this time youth will engage in a variety of activities to help them develop and experience their life as Christian Youth.

Parents are welcome to attend our study sessions. Parent attendance shows strong support for the program and greatly enriches what is to be accomplished.
