Religious education takes place before, during and after being Confirmed. It is out of learning about our Lord that the desire to be Comfirmed comes alive within our youth! Therefore, the below schedule is in regards to this years immediate preparation for Confirmation. Classes are intended for currently registered teens who interviewed in the summer of 2021. The below information includes the mandatory class dates and information (some dates are not intended for teens but their parents and/or sponsors).
The "three months of preparation" will take place over 4 months time because of scheduled breaks for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's & the beginning of Lent.
NOTE: Father James would like to meet with teens in small groups before Confirmation. These meetings will take place throughout the year at Life Nigts, on Sundays and possibly via Zoom on Wednesdays. Final meetings and times: TBA
