The Sacrament of Confirmation
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation begins in grade 9 and includes monthly small group meetings, a retreat, and an interview with the pastor and coordinator. The small groups are held one Sunday a month. The time is determined by the small group leader. Confirmation is celebrated in the fall of the 10th grade year.
