Programs   >   Confirmation

Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit - his action, his gifts, and his bidding - in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of the confirmands.     --- CCC:1309          

 

Confirmation 2 Meeting for Parents and Teens
Thursday, Sept. 16 at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall
For those students who will be confirmed this year

The Confirmation Preparation program at St. Anne is a two-year process that begins in 10th grade and concludes at the end of 11th grade. Teens must alos be enrolled and attending ongoing faith formation (Life Teen) or attending a Catholic high school beginning their 9th grade year.

 

Other requirements include:

* Regular attendance at six preparation classes per year.

 

* Students need to have completed at least 3 service experiences with us here at the parish.  Service experiences will be announced at Life Nights, Confirmation classes, in the Sunday Bulletin, and on the website.

 

* Attend the fall retreat during their Confirmation I year, and the Confirmation II retreat during the spring of their Confirmation II year.

 

* Second year Confirmation students must complete a two-page report on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and how the gifts can be used by the Confirmandi on a daily basis, especially as a newly Confirmed Catholic.

 

Those that have already been Confirmed are encouraged to join us for Post-Confirmation classes that are held on the same nights as other Confirmation classes.

 

Registration is done by filling out the Faith Formation Registration form.  All other needed documentation will be gathered throughout the preparation process.
