In our Confirmation Preparation program, we hope to immerse our Candidates in the Christian way of life. Through deliberate learning and faith formational sessions with their sponsors, retreats, prayer, service learning, active sacramental lives of Eucharist and Reconciliation, and purposeful conversation, we hope to lay the foundation for Candidates to live in deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and in a commitment to join with other believers in following His way, through the Gospels.
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION (a 2-year process which begins in September)
