Youth Faith Formation: Confirmation Program
Teenagers in High School can be enrolled in a two year preparation program to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
What to expect:
During the first year of preparation, students will attend weekly class. The student is expected to attend Sunday Mass and any holy days of obligation. Students will also attend Youth Day at the Religious Education Conference at the Anaheim Convention Center. A certain number of community service hours are also expected.
At the second year of Confirmation, students will need to attend a Confirmation retreat with the parish Confirmation group. Additional projects and expectations are required before Confirmation can be received.
Confirmation Sponsor:
Just like a Baptism godparent, a confirmation sponsor needs to be practicing Catholic who has been baptized Catholic and has been Confirmed. This person needs to have done the First Communion and receives regularly the Eucharist. If married, must be married through the Catholic Church. If single, not cohabitating.
