Family of Faith Confirmation Ministry

For all 7th & 8th grade students and those older students who have not yet been confirmed.

Welcome to our Family of Faith Confirmation Preparation!

Confirmation is a two-year preparation process, typically starting in 7th grade. If your child begins later, no worries—their first year in the ministry will still be treated as Year 1, regardless of age or grade. This ensures every student receives the full formation needed before receiving the Sacrament.
