Dear Confirmation Candidate,
This is an exciting time in your life! You are about to begin the wonderful journey into becoming an adult member of the Catholic Church! This year you will grow in your faith, love, and knowledge of our savior, Jesus Christ. You will further your studies in the power of the Holy Spirit who helps to guide you throughout your life. You will better understand what it means to be a Catholic and the responsibilities that go along with being a member of this church. During our time together, we will pray together, play together, and learn together. This year our Parish will be initiating an evening Teen Mass every other month in order to enhance our confirmation program. Mass will follow an hour long class and will conclude with a short adoration. In addition, there will be several requirements along the way but we will help you to accomplish these tasks together! Please read the list of requirements and be prepared to complete them by the assigned date.
