All teens (no younger than 10th grade) wishing to receive the sacrament as a spring 2023 candidate must be registered no later than October 1st, 2022. (Remember, you must also be registered concurrently in Life Teen Youth Ministry for the year.) Confirmation preparation consists of two specially designated "Power Days" - one in the fall and one in the spring of 2023 (with sponsors) in addition to attending youth ministry Life Nights. These are listed on the General Life Teen Calendar for 2022-2023 (link below). Confirmation preparation also includes a retreat component (more details to come), as well as a few conversations with our Parish Staff & Life Teen Core Team.

For the retreat component, teens will be able to choose between the Life Teen Fall Retreat (Nov. 11-13, 2022) or the Life Teen Spring Retreat (Mar. 24-26, 2023) Further details on the logistics, layout, and schedule of these retreats will be forthcoming.

The Confirmation preparation component of the year will begin in October 2022.

To sign up for Confirmation preparation, all teens will also be active in our Life Teen youth ministry. you can find the annual registration for youth ministry here. Please select Confirmation prep, in addition to Life Teen, when asked.
