Preparation for Confirmation is a two year process that usually happens in 8th and 9th grade, and is composed of 34 topics over the two years. A parent information meeting will be held in early fall (an online parent meeting will also be available). 

The content for Confirmation this year will be covered through four Zoom gatherings (a make up video and activity will be provided for those that cannot attend the zoom class), four videos to be watched and discussed with their sponsor, and eight videos with reflection questions to be watched on their own.

In addition to this there will be:

• A retreat in the spring
• A personal prayer journal (meant to offer the opportunity to go beyond the mind to the heart. This are confidential and will not be turned in).
• Service  opportunities
• Second year students will take part in two additional immediate preparation gatherings in person or online at the end of the year, as the circumstances at the time allow.
