The goal of the Confirmation Preparation Process is to prepare high school aged teens to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and deepen the faith of the Parish Community.
During the First Year of Confirmation the goal is to gradually awaken in the life of the teens the reality of God and encourage them to participate in the life of the parish community. The teens select a sponsor who journeys with them throughout the process.
The Second Year of Confirmation is a period of more intense preparation for understanding and living the Catholic Christian faith. The teens are led to a greater reverence for their Catholic faith, Scripture and tradition.
