CONFIRMATION PREPERATION

The registration process is as follows:
Open Registration: Begins June 15 – Open to all parishioners as well as non-parishioners.
Please register by August 1 in order to give staff and volunteers adequate time to prepare. By honoring this date, your considerateness of our time and efficiency is greatly appreciated.

Small Group leaders will determine the day of the week and time which best fits their weekly schedule. Parents will select the day of the week which best fits their child’s schedule. Youth will then be assigned to a specific small group in the order in which registrations are received.

For every 8-10 youth in each grade, 2 adult Small Group Leaders are needed.
Registration for ALL faith formation is online.

Our goal is to Form Disciples through Authentic Relationships. We aim to provide quality faith formation and youth ministry opportunities. For the annual registration, a fee of $75 per child/teen with a maximum of $300 per family is requested. However, we will always provide full and partial scholarships, as well as payment plans, to families with financial hardships.

    1. Small Groups – Youth & Adult Leaders will meet for 60-90 minutes each week to build relationships, discuss the week’s topic, and pray. Meetings will most likely take place via video conference. Groups may have the option to meet in homes depending on what’s allowed by parish, diocese and civil authorities. Leaders & Parents of Youth may select preferred meeting day; specific times will be set later, but will be within these ranges:
a. Sunday afternoons (1-5pm) or evenings (5-8pm) or   
b. Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings (5-8pm)   

Please make 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices. Placements are made based on space and number of adult leaders. Be aware that you may not get your first choice.
Thank you for understanding.
