Confirmation

Holy Spirit and St. Joseph Church has created a requisite program for all 7th grade students entering or Confirmation program.

Confirmation Initiation is mandatory for all students to prepare them for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Confirmation Initiation will review prayers and teachings of the Church to ensure the teens have a solid foundation to build upon over the two-year program.

Teens in Grades 8 and above are invited to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation,  a two-year process of learning more about the Catholic Faith and following Christ. Teens who attend Catholic School receive most of their preparation there, but will participate in the Confirmation retreat and other sessions with their parish community. 

Parents Meeting is for year 2 is on September 18, 2022.
Parents Meeting is for year 1 is on October 9, 2022.

This Year we offer the sacramental prep only in person. 

Retreats offer a unique opportunity for the Confirmands to encounter Christ. Enriching retreat experiences are not strictly catechetical in nature, but should provide an engaging formational experience of life as a Catholic Christian; life as a Missionary Disciple. It is expected that the Candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation attend at least the retreat which is geared toward their life after Confirmation as a Missionary Disciple of Jesus Christ.

Confirmands may participate in either of the two scheduled retreats.
