Confirmation preparation for our students builds on the foundation that began at Baptism and will continue for the rest of their lives. The receiving of the Holy Spirit will unite them more firmly to Christ, increase the gifts of the Holy Spirit in them, and give them the strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ.
Last year, Archbishop Sample changed the age requirement for Confirmation from high school to the 7th grade. We were challenged to create a separate grade level program that would work for both high school and middle school students. Our program combines catechetical teaching with opportunities for the teens to bond in friendships, build community by participating in team building events including a ropes course, a weekend retreat, service and outreach options with their sponsors, and fun events.
Please spend some time in conversation and prayer with your teen on whether this is the year to join Confirmation preparation classes. If you are interested, please complete the Registration Packet below and return it to the parish office.
Volunteers are needed. For more information, please contact Kim Zea, our Pastoral Associate, at kim@saintclarechurch.org.
