Confirmation
Please contact Maggie Johnson at 530-4343 x25 for additional information.
We ask all 9th and 10th graders to participate in the High School Gospel Study (HSGS) as one part of their preparation for Confirmation. The HSGS meets in the Keller Library at 9:30 on Sunday mornings. We complete our meeting just prior to the start Mass; thus, this session lasts about one hour. During these sessions we break open the Word of God through the Gospel reading of the weekend. This is experience-based learning of the theology of the Catholic Faith.
2009-2010 Dates for the HSGS:
October 18, 2009 October 25, 2009 November 1, 2009 November 15, 2009 December 6, 2009 December 13, 2009 January 10, 2010 January 24, 2010 February 21, 2010 March 7, 2010 March 21, 2010 April 11, 2010 April 25, 2010 Confirmation Preparation during the 9th grade:

Students in the 10th grade are prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation; as well, any 11th or 12th graders who have not yet received the Sacrament participate with this group. This is a year of commitment for all those who intend to become Confirmed Catholics.
Requirements for Confirmation Year:
The confirmation process depends upon the candidate's presence and participation in sessions (as well as the other components). Attendance at sessions is expected as a reflection of the teen and family's commitment to the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is a sacrament that is an individual choice (to be respected if the teen chooses that NOW is not the right time to do this) and a sacrament heavily rooted in community. The community component of the Sacrament of Confirmation cannot happen when the teen is not present regularly. Please see Confirmation Requirements and High School Gospel Study/Sessions for Confirmation Dates.
